Judging Others

7 “^(A)Do not judge so that you will not be judged. ² For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and ^[a](B)by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

The Impartiality of God

2 Therefore you have ^(A)no excuse, ^[a](B)everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which ^(C)you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. ² And we know that the judgment of God ^[b]rightly falls upon those who practice such things. ³ But do you suppose this, ^(D)O man, ^[c]when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

⁵ Therefore ^(A)do not go on ^[a]passing judgment before ^[b]the time, but wait ^(B)until the Lord comes who will both ^(C)bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s ^(D)praise will come to him from God.
