What does the Bible say about judging others?
Published Reviewed
'Judge not' (Matthew 7:1) forbids hypocritical, harsh condemnation—not all discernment. Jesus says first remove your own log, then help your brother (v.5). We're to judge teaching (1 John 4:1), sin within the church (1 Corinthians 5:12), but leave final judgment to God.
Why this answer? It starts with Matthew 7:1-2, then cross-checks John 7:24 and 1 Corinthians 5:12 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
What does Matthew 7:1-2 say?
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.”
