After all, do I have any business judging those who are outside ⌞the Christian faith⌟? Isn’t it your business to judge those who are inside?
Jesus replied to them, “The mystery about God’s kingdom has been given ⌞directly⌟ to you. To those on the outside, it is given in stories:
Jesus said to him, “Who appointed me to be your judge or to divide ⌞your inheritance⌟?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom doesn’t belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. My kingdom doesn’t have its origin on earth.”
Be wise in the way you act toward those who are outside ⌞the Christian faith⌟. Make the most of your opportunities.
Then your way of life will win respect from those outside ⌞the church⌟, and you won’t have to depend on anyone else for what you need.
People who are not Christians must speak well of him, or he might become the victim of disgraceful insults that the devil sets as traps for him.
