Isa 65:5, Mat 7:1, Rom 2:1-2, 14:3-4, 10-16, 1Cor 4:3-5, Jam 4:11-12 | ESV | STEP | who say , Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you. These are a smoke in my nostrils , a fire that burns all the day .

1 Therefore you have ^cno excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For ^din passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.

Romans 14:3-4

3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and ^elet not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 ^fWho are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master ^{▼▼Or lord} that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Romans 14:10-16

10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For ^hwe will all stand before ⁱthe judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written,

^j“As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall confess ^{▼▼Or shall give praise} to God.”
12 So then ^leach of us will give an account of himself to God.

Do Not Cause Another to Stumble

13 ^mTherefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide ⁿnever to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus ^othat nothing is unclean in itself, ^pbut it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, ^qyou are no longer walking in love. ^rBy what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 ^sSo do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.

1 Corinthians 4:3-5

3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. 4 ^tFor I am not aware of anything against myself, ^ubut I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore ^vdo not pronounce judgment before the time, ^wbefore the Lord comes, ^xwho will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. ^yThen each one will receive his commendation from God.

James 4:11-12

11 ^zDo not speak evil against one another, brothers. ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} The one who speaks against a brother or ^abjudges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is only ^acone lawgiver and ^adjudge, he who is able to save and ^aeto destroy. But ^afwho are you to judge your neighbor?
