1 "Don’t judge others, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For whatever standard you use to judge others will be used to judge you, and whatever measurement you use to measure others will be used to measure you.

1 "Don’t judge others, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For whatever standard you use to judge others will be used to judge you, and whatever measurement you use to measure others will be used to measure you. 3 Why do you see the speck that’s in your brother’s eye? Don’t you notice the plank that’s in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take out that speck from your eye’ when you have a plank in your own eye? 5 You’re being hypocritical! First get rid of the plank that’s in your own eye. Then you’ll be able to see clearly to take out the speck from your brother’s eye.

3 Why do you see the speck that’s in your brother’s eye? Don’t you notice the plank that’s in your own eye?

37 Don’t judge,* and you won’t be judged; don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned; forgive, and you’ll be forgiven;

37 Don’t judge,* and you won’t be judged; don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned; forgive, and you’ll be forgiven;

37 Don’t judge,* and you won’t be judged; don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned; forgive, and you’ll be forgiven; 38 give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you’re given is measured out, it’s pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive."*

24 Don’t judge by appearances; decide what is right!"

15 You judge in a typically human way, but I don’t judge anyone. 16 Even if I did judge, my judgment would be right because I am not doing this alone. The Father who sent me is with me.

17 God didn’t send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don’t trust in him are condemned* already because they didn’t trust in the one and only Son of God.

18 Those who trust in him are not condemned, while those who don’t trust in him are condemned* already because they didn’t trust in the one and only Son of God. 19 This is how the decision* is made: the light came to the world, but people loved the darkness rather than the light, for their actions were evil.

16 At the same time I gave strict instructions to your judges: "Hear the cases brought between your brothers, and make sure you are fair when you judge between a man and his brother or a foreigner living among you. 17 Don’t show any favoritism when you judge—treat the powerful and the common people just the same. Don’t let anyone intimidate you, because judgment is done on God’s behalf. Bring me any case that is too hard for you, and I will hear it."

7 Don’t have anything to do with making false accusations. Don’t kill the innocent or those who do right, for I won’t let the guilty go unpunished.

10 For all of us must appear before Christ’s seat of judgment. Each of us will receive what we deserve for what we have done in this life, whether it is good or bad.

10 So why do you criticize your fellow-believer? Why do you despise your fellow-believer? For all of us will stand before God’s throne of judgment.

11 For the Scriptures say, "‘As surely as I am alive,’ the Lord says, ‘Every knee shall bow before me, and every tongue will declare that I am God.’"* 12 So every one of us will have to explain ourselves to God.

13 Therefore let’s not judge each other anymore, but decide to do this instead—we won’t put obstacles in the way of fellow-believers, or cause them to fall.

4 What right do you have to judge someone else’s servant? It’s their own master who decides whether they are right or wrong. With the Lord’s help they will be able to take their stand for right.

3 Those who eat anything must not look down on those who won’t, and those who won’t eat must not criticize those who do—for God has accepted them both.

1 So if you judge others you don’t have any excuse, whoever you are! For in whatever way you condemn others, you’re judging yourself, because you’re doing the same things.

1 So if you judge others you don’t have any excuse, whoever you are! For in whatever way you condemn others, you’re judging yourself, because you’re doing the same things. 2 We know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is based on truth. 3 When you judge them do you really think that you however can avoid God’s judgment?

12 Those who sin even though they don’t have the written law* are still lost, while those who sin that do have the written law will be condemned by that law.

16 The good news I share is that a day is coming when God will judge, through Jesus Christ, everyone’s secret thoughts.

1 So there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.

23 The wage sin pays is death, but God’s free gift is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

7 But the Lord rules forever, his throne is set up for judgment.

8 The Lord judges the world rightly; he judges the nations fairly.

14 God is going to judge us for everything we do, including what we do secretly, whether good or bad.

9 While I was watching, thrones were set up and the Ancient of Days took his seat.* His clothes were white as snow and his hair looked like the purest wool. His throne blazed like flames; its wheels like burning fire. 10 A stream of fire poured out, flowing from before him. A thousand thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court sat to begin its judgment, and the books were opened.

12 I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened. Another book, the Book of Life, was opened and the dead were judged based on what was written in the books about what they had done.

12 I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and the books were opened. Another book, the Book of Life, was opened and the dead were judged based on what was written in the books about what they had done. 13 The sea handed over the dead in it, and death and Hades handed over the dead that were in them,* and everyone was judged according to what they had done.

1 My dear children, I’m writing this to you so you shouldn’t sin. But if anybody should happen to sin, we have someone who defends us before the Father—Jesus Christ, who is truly good and right.

1 Dear friends, don’t trust every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to find out whether they’re from God, for there are many false prophets out there in the world.

5 So don’t judge anything before the right time—when the Lord comes. He will bring to light all the darkest secrets that are hidden, and he will reveal people’s motives. God will give everyone whatever praise they deserve.

1 How dare any of you file a lawsuit before pagan judges if you have a dispute with your neighbor! Instead you should bring this before other believers. 2 Don’t you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you’re going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases? 3 Don’t you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate to this life! 4 So if you have to judge things that relate to this life, how can you go to judges that are not respected by the church?* 5 I’m trying to shame you by saying this. What? You can’t find one wise person among you who can settle a dispute that you have?

2 Don’t you know that Christian believers will judge the world? If you’re going to judge the world, are you not fit to judge in the most minor cases? 3 Don’t you know we are going to judge angels? How much more those things that relate to this life!

27 I also treat my body severely to bring it under my control, for I don’t want somehow to be disqualified after sharing the good news with everybody else.

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept my trust in God. 8 Now there’s a prize reserved for me—the crown for a life lived according to what is good and right. The Lord (who is the judge that always does what’s right), will give that to me on that Day.* And not just to me, but to everyone who longs for his coming.

9 As you can see, the Lord is able to rescue from their troubles those who respect him, and to keep the wicked until the day of judgment when their punishment is completed.

11 Friends, don’t speak badly of one another. Anyone who criticizes a fellow-believer and condemns* them, criticizes and condemns the law. If you condemn the law you’re not someone who keeps the law, because you’re sitting in judgment of it. 12 There’s only one lawgiver and judge—the one who can either save or destroy you—so who are you to judge your neighbor?

12 Above all, my friends, don’t swear. Not by heaven, not by earth, and not by any other kind of oath. Just let your yes be yes, and your no be no, so you won’t fall under condemnation.

10 Someone who observes everything in the law but fails in just one part is guilty of breaking it all. 11 God told you not to commit adultery, and he also told you not to kill. So if you don’t commit adultery, but you do kill, you’ve become a law-breaker.* 12 You should speak and act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.

16 So don’t let anyone criticize you for what you eat or what you drink, or regarding which religious festival, new moon ritual, or ceremonial sabbaths you choose to observe.*

16 So don’t let anyone criticize you for what you eat or what you drink, or regarding which religious festival, new moon ritual, or ceremonial sabbaths you choose to observe.* 17 These are just a shadow of what was to come, for the physical reality is Christ.

18 Then you will once again be able to distinguish those who do right from those who do wrong, between those who serve him and those who don’t.

17 None of the weapons forged against you will succeed, and you will condemn anyone who accuses you. This is how the servants of the Lord are blessed, and I am the one who vindicates them, declares the Lord.

9 I look for you in the night; deep inside me I long for you. When your laws are shown to the earth, then the people of the world learn what is right.

4 Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other.* God will judge adulterers.

2 People think that whatever they do is fine, but the Lord looks at their motives.

3 Doing what’s right and fair pleases the Lord more than sacrifices.

36 I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment.

16 Anyone who trusts in me and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who chooses not to trust will be condemned.

9 Young people, enjoy your youth! Be happy with what’s good! While you’re young, let your mind guide your life, and do as you think best. But remember that God will judge you for all your thoughts and actions.

26 Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself. 27 The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.

37 Don’t judge,* and you won’t be judged; don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned; forgive, and you’ll be forgiven;
