10.19-Careful about judging occupational people groups together.
10.19-
Great citizens of great nations do not pre judge their leaders negatively. Proper honor is given to the office regardless of the man or woman. They understand that authorities are set up by God for the benefit of the people.
In a civil country people treat each other the way they want to be treated.
Some military leaders have more faith that most because they know the power of words.
Matthew 7.
We see Christians avoiding prejudging an occupation as being bad people. Soldiers. Carpenters. Fishermen. Tentmakers. All can be useful to God.
Matthew 7.
12 “In everything, therefore, [i]treat people the same way you want [j]them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 8.
5 And when [e]Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6 and saying, “[f]Lord, my [g]servant is [h]lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” 7 Jesus *said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8 But the centurion said, “[i]Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just [j]say the word, and my [k]servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” 10 Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith [l]with anyone in Israel. 11 I say to you that many will come from east and west, and [m]recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; [n]it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the [o]servant was healed that very [p]moment.

7 “Do not
judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For
in the way you judge, you will be judged; and [a]by your
standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why
do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the
log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how [b]can you
say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the
log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite,
first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take
the speck out of your brother’s eye.
