God’s Righteous Judgment
2 Therefore you are (A)inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, (B)for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

Do Not Judge a Brother
11 (A)Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother (B)and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law.

10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For (A)we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [a]Christ. 11 For it is written:
(B)“As I live, says the Lord,
Every knee shall bow to Me,
And every tongue shall confess to God.”
12 So then (C)each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another [b]anymore, but rather resolve this, (D)not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

New King James Version
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by a human [a]court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who judges me is the Lord. 5 (A)Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to (B)light the hidden things of darkness and (C)reveal the [b]counsels of the hearts. (D)Then each one’s praise will come from God.

53 (A)“When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back (B)the captives of your captivity among them, 54 that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when (C)you comforted them. 55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state. 56 For your sister Sodom was not a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride,
