5.11-Do not judge and condemn other people.
5.11-
Principle #10
We do not judge and condemn other
people. We cannot read the secrets of
the heart. Only God can ultimately judge
where people go when they leave this earth.
Matthew 7.
7 “Do not judge, or you too
will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you
will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s
eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How
can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all
the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite,
first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to
remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
1 Corinthians
4 This, then, is how you ought
to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries
God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been
given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am
judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My
conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who
judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time;
wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness
and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their
praise from God.
6 Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to
myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning
of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed
up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. 7 For
who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not
receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?
