Judge Not
We’ve all been quoted this passage by someone, and even by those who don’t even claim to be Christians. Jesus teaching on judgment isn’t a call to abandoned discernment, or a licensure to do whatever we want. Instead, He is calling us to discern fairly without reducing someone’s humanity while trusting God is the ultimate judge.
