So for me, it is a minor matter that I am judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.

Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you not competent to settle trivial suits?

For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.

I do not mean yours but the other person's. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?

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

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