being judgmental

¹“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. ²For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you. ³And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye? ⁴Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye? ⁵Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.

³⁷Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

¹“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.

¹And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted.

²³For all have sinned and all are in need of the glory of God.

¹For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge. ²For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things. ³But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God? ⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance? ⁵But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God. ⁶For he will render to each one according to his works:

⁸When I say to the impious, ‘O impious man, you will die a death,’ if you have not spoken so that the impious man will keep himself from his way, then that impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand. ⁹But if you have announced to the impious man, so that he may be converted from his ways, and he has not converted from his way, then he will die in his iniquity. Yet you will have freed your own soul.

⁷So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.

¹⁴And we ask you, brothers: correct the disruptive, console the weak-minded, support the sick, be patient with everyone.

²²So certainly, reprove them, after they have been judged. ²³Yet truly, save them, seizing them from the fire. And have mercy on others: in fear, hating even that which is of the flesh, the defiled garment.

¹⁹My brothers, if anyone of you strays from the truth, and if someone converts him, ²⁰he ought to know that whoever causes a sinner to be converted from the error of his ways will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

²⁴Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment.”

²For with whatever judgment you judge, so shall you be judged; and with whatever measure you measure out, so shall it be measured back to you.
