"For with the measure you use..."

Roy has an interesting post from Susanna Cornett about the famous words of Jesus Christ: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." That's from the King James Version of the Bible.

I added the following comments to his post:

I've noticed that people usually just quote the first verse [of Matthew 7]. Jesus continues in verse 2: "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure that you use, it will be measured to you."

So, if I examine mine and others' lives according to what the Scriptures say, since we'll be judged according to that standard (John 12:47-48), there is nothing wrong with judging.

I think it's impossible for people not to make judgements.
