Do not judge according to external appearance,<n id="1" /> but judge with proper<n id="2" /> judgment.&#8221;p>

Furthermore, the Father does not judge<n id="1" /> anyone, but has assigned<n id="2" /> all judgment to the Son,

The sins of some people are obvious, going before them into judgment, but for others, they show up later.<n id="1" />

yet even<n id="1" /> angels, who are much more powerful,<n id="2" /> do not bring a slanderous<n id="3" /> judgment against them before the Lord.<n id="4" />

<p class="otpoetry"><b><i>He will not break a bruised reed or extinguish a smoldering wick,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><i><b>until he brings justice to victoryb>.i>p>

<p class="bodytext">For if God did not spare the angels who sinned,<n id="1" /> but threw them into hell<n id="2" /> and locked them up<n id="3" /> in chains<n id="4" /> in utter darkness,<n id="5" /> to be kept until the judgment,

You also know that<n id="1" /> the angels who did not keep within their proper domain<n id="2" /> but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept<n id="3" /> in eternal chains<n id="4" /> in utter<n id="5" /> darkness, locked up<n id="6" /> for the judgment of the great Day.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But woe to you Pharisees!<n id="1" /> You give a tenth<n id="2" /> of your mint,<n id="3" /> rue,<n id="4" /> and every herb, yet you neglect justice<n id="5" /> and love for God! But you should have done these things without neglecting the others.<n id="6" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I tell you the solemn truth,<n id="1" /> the one who hears<n id="2" /> my message<n id="3" /> and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned,<n id="4" /> but has crossed over from death to life.

And above all, my brothers and sisters,<n id="1" /> do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath. But let your &#8220;Yes&#8221; be yes and your &#8220;No&#8221; be no, so that you may not fall into judgment.p>

But even<n id="1" /> when Michael the archangel<n id="2" /> was arguing with the devil and debating with him<n id="3" /> concerning Moses&#8217; body, he did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment, but said, &#8220;May the Lord rebuke you!&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Woe to you, experts in the law<n id="1" /> and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You give a tenth<n id="2" /> of mint, dill, and cumin,<n id="3" /> yet you neglect what is more important in the law &#8211; justice, mercy, and faithfulness! You<n id="4" /> should have done these things without neglecting the others.
