There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver; the Lord is our king; he will save us.
Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!
“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
And Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
