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.
Key Scripture
“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.”
