Right Judgment


‭‭

‭‭Matthew 7:1-5 ERV‬‬ ( Be Careful About Criticizing Others )
“Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. 2 If you judge others, you will be judged the same way you judge them. God will treat you the same way you treat others. 3 “Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the big piece of wood that is in your own? 4 Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that big piece of wood in your own eye. 5 You are a hypocrite! First, take the wood out of your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye.


‭‭Luke 6:37 ERV‬‬ ( Be Careful About Criticizing Others )
“Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. Don’t condemn others, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.


John 7:24 ESV‬‬
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.


‭‭1 Corinthians 2:15 ERV‬‬
We who have the Spirit are able to make judgments about all these things. But anyone without the Spirit is not able to make proper judgments about us.


‭‭1 Corinthians 6:1-6 ERV‬‬ ( Judging Problems Between Believers )
When one of you has something against someone else in your group, why do you go to the judges in the law courts? The way they think and live is wrong. So why do you let them decide who is right? Why don’t you let God’s holy people decide who is right? 2 Don’t you know that God’s people will judge the world? So if you will judge the world, then surely you can judge small arguments like this. 3 You know that in the future we will judge angels. So surely we can judge life’s ordinary problems. 4 So if you have such matters to be judged, why do you take them to those who are not part of the church? They mean nothing to you. 5 I say this to shame you. Surely there is someone in your group wise enough to judge a complaint between two believers. 6 But now one believer goes to court against another, and you let people who are not believers judge their case!


‭‭2 Timothy 4:2 ERV‬‬
Tell everyone God’s message. Be ready at all times to do whatever is needed. Tell people what they need to do, tell them when they are doing wrong, and encourage them. Do this with great patience and careful teaching.


‭‭Titus 2:15 ERV‬‬ ( Following the True Teaching )
These are the things you should tell people. Encourage them, and when they are wrong, correct them. You have full authority to do this, so don’t let anyone think they can ignore you.
