But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

For I, on my part, though absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged him who has so committed this, as though I were present.

I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?

But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
