judgment

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. ⁶Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not cast your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they may trample them under their feet, and then, turning, they may tear you apart.

¹⁰For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.

¹³For judgment is without mercy toward him who has not shown mercy. But mercy exalts itself above judgment.

¹²And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God. ¹³Therefore, we should no longer judge one another. Instead, judge this to a greater extent: that you should not place an obstacle before your brother, nor lead him astray.

³⁶But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.

¹⁰So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” ¹²And so, each one of us shall offer an explanation of himself to God.

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and One sitting upon it, from whose sight earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing in view of the throne. And books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged by those things that had been written in the books, according to their works. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it. And death and Hell gave up their dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. ¹⁴And Hell and death were cast into the pool of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵And whoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the pool of fire.

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

⁵And so, do not choose to judge before the time, until the Lord returns. He will illuminate the hidden things of the darkness, and he will make manifest the decisions of hearts. And then each one shall have praise from God.

³⁷For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”

²⁷And in the same manner as it has been appointed for men to die one time, and after this, to be judged,

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