Matthew 7:1-5 KJV (Do Not Judge Others)
1
“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
2
For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in
judging is the standard by which you will be judged.
3
“And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a
log in your own?
4
How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get
rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log
in your own eye?
5
Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will
see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
John
8:2-11 KJV
2
And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the
people came unto Him; and He sat down, and taught them.
3
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in
adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4
They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the
very act.
5
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but
what sayest thou?
6
This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But
Jesus stooped down, and with His finger wrote on the ground, as
though He heard them not.
7
So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.
8
And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and
Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10
When Jesus had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said
unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man
condemned thee?
11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn
thee: go, and sin no more.
Romans
1:24-32, 2:1-4 NLT
24
So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts
desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each
other’s bodies.
25
They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and
served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is
worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
26
That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the
women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged
in sex with each other.
27
And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women,
burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other
men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the
penalty they deserved.
28
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them
to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be
done.
29
Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed,
hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and
gossip.
30
They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful.
They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.
31
They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and
have no mercy.
32
They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things
deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage
others to do them, too.
Romans 2:1-4 NLT (God’s Judgment of Sin)
1
You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad,
and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be
punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do
these very same things.
2
And we know that God, in His justice, will punish anyone who does
such things.
3
Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you
can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things?
4
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is
with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that His
kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Romans
14:12,13 NLT
12
Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God.
13
So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such
a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

Corinthians 4:5 KJV
Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until The Lord come, who both will
bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest
the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of
God.
