I Corinthians
2:15 “But he that is spiritual judgeth
all things, yet he himself is judged of no
man.”
-
I Corinthians
6:1-8 “Do ye not know that the saints shall
judge the world? And if the world shall be
judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge
the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? How much more things that pertain to this life? If then
ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to
judge who are least esteemed in the church.
I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man
among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge
between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and
that before the unbelievers. Now therefore there is utterly a
fault among you, because ye go to the law one with another. Why
do ye not rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer
yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and
that your brethren.”
-
I Corinthians
14:24-25, 29 “But if all prophesy, and there come in
one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of
all, he is judged of all: And thus are the
secrets of his heat made manifest; and so
falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that
God is in you of a truth.”
-
Matthew
7:1-5; Luke 6:37 “Judge not,
that ye be not judged. For with what
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you
again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s
eye, but considereth not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or
how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out
of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou
hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shall thou clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother’s eye.”
-
John 7:24
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge
righteous judgment.”
-
John 16:8
“And when the Comforter is come, he will
reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
of sin, because they believe not on me; of
righteousness, because I go to my Father,
and ye see me not more; of judgment,
because the prince of this world is judged.”

not be judged. But when we are

good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and
sowed tares among the wheat, and went his
way…He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; the filed is
the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but
the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
end of the world; and the reapers are the
angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned
in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
The son of man shall send forth his angel, and they shall gather
out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do
iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”

to repentance? But after the hardness and impenitent heart
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God; Who will render to every man
according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in
well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal
life: But unto them that are contentious, and do no obey the
truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first, and also the Gentile; But
glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the
Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no
respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without
the law shall also perish without law: and as many as have
sinned in the law shall be judged by the
law; For not the hearers of the law far just before God, but the
