Matthew 7:1 (2001), "Don’t judge [others] so you won’t be judged. For, the [rules] that you use to judge others, are the rules that will be used to judge you, and the standards you are setting for them, are the standards that they’ll set for you."
So, the point is; whenever we judge others, God in turn is judging us. And while our judgment on others may have temporary effect, our lack of thought or a poor motivation in passing that judgment may result in the wrath of God.
Notice Paul’s charge to Timothy (at 1 Timothy 5:21), "Don’t jump to conclusions before you hear the evidence, and never make a decision because you’re biased one way or the other."
