'Standards' in the Bible
You're judging by human standards, but I'm not judging anyone.
They have known for a long time, if they would but testify to it, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the standards of our strictest religious party.
Brothers, think about your own calling. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
That's because you are still worldly. As long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, you are worldly and living by human standards, aren't you?
We would not dare put ourselves in the same class with, or compare ourselves to, those who recommend themselves. Whenever they measure themselves by their own standards or compare themselves among themselves, they show how foolish they are.
