Do not disparage one another, Brothers. He who disparages his Brother, or passes judgment on his Brother, disparages the Law and passes judgment on the Law. But, if you pass judgment on the Law, you are not obeying it, but judging it.

For judgment is without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy [the one God who has the absolute power of life and death]; but who are you to [hypocritically or self-righteously] pass judgment on your neighbor?
