Don't judge by appearances. Judge by what is right.
"How long will you keep judging unfairly and favoring evil people?
The LORD doesn't like those who defend the guilty or condemn the innocent.
Here are some more sayings that make good sense: When you judge, you must be fair.
You accept bribes to let the guilty go free, and you cheat the innocent out of a fair trial.
Be fair, no matter who is on trial--don't favor either the poor or the rich.
(SEE 7:8)
Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, "Isn't this the man they want to kill?
You judge in the same way that everyone else does, but I don't judge anyone.
You judge by appearances. If any of you think you are the only ones who belong to Christ, then think again. We belong to Christ as much as you do.
My friends, if you have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, you won't treat some people better than others.
That is the same as saying that some people are better than others, and you would be acting like a crooked judge.
But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned.
