JUDGING OTHERS.

"Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourself be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye, with never a thought for the great plank in your own?... You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's."  (From Matt 7:1-5 NEB).

"Brothers, you must never disparage one another. He who disparages (1) a brother or passes judgement on his brother disparages the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not keeping it but sitting in judgement upon it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save life and destroy it. So who are you to judge your neighbour?"  (James 4:11,12 NEB).

"You, sir, why do you pass judgement on your brother? And you, sir, why do you hold   your brother in contempt? (2)  We shall all stand before God's tribunal."  (Rom 14:10 NEB).

"You therefore have no defence     you who sit in judgement, whoever you may be     for in judging your fellow-man you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, are equally guilty. It is admitted that God's Judgement is rightly passed upon all who commit such crimes (3) as these; and do you imagine     you who pass judgement on the guilty while committing the same crimes yourself     do  you imagine that you, any more than they, will escape the Judgement of God?"  (Rom 2:1  3 NEB).
