Decided

if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;

“Do not judge, or you will be judged.

For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, in the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

“I suppose the one who was forgiven more,” Simon replied. “You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

His master replied, ‘You wicked servant, I will judge you by your own words. So you knew that I am a harsh man, withdrawing what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow?

so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,

I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”

“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.

As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day.

and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

‘But I will punish the nation that enslaves them,’ God said, ‘and afterward they will come forth and worship Me in this place.’

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.

It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.

And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.

For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was in a hurry to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”

Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”

Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”

unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”

But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”

Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.

Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.

But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,

Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Christ Jesus, as proclaimed by my gospel.

The one who is physically uncircumcised yet keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

Certainly not! Let God be true and every man a liar. As it is written: “So that You may be proved right when You speak and victorious when You judge.”

Certainly not! In that case, how could God judge the world?

However, if my falsehood accentuates God’s truthfulness, to the increase of His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?

The one who eats everything must not belittle the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted him.

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.

Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.

Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.

Keep your belief about such matters between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

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 men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

Although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.

What business of mine is it to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.”

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

But the man who is firmly established in his heart and under no constraint, with control over his will and resolve in his heart not to marry the virgin, he will do well.

I speak to reasonable people; judge for yourselves what I say.

the other one’s conscience, I mean, not your own. For why should my freedom be determined by someone else’s conscience?

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.

But when we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.

So I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you.

For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that One died for all, therefore all died.

Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!

Since you call on a Father who judges each one’s work impartially, conduct yourselves in reverent fear during your stay as foreigners.

When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who dwell upon the earth and avenge our blood?”

The nations were enraged, and Your wrath has come. The time has come to judge the dead and to reward Your servants the prophets, as well as the saints and those who fear Your name, both small and great—and to destroy those who destroy the earth.”

And I heard the angel of the waters say: “Righteous are You, O Holy One, who is and was, because You have brought these judgments.

Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and grief and famine—and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.

For His judgments are true and just. He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality. He has avenged the blood of His servants that was poured out by her hand.”

Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And books were opened, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.

The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.
