You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.

O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth!
have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself. For I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God.
