Bible

[Long2Retire]

You cannot judge the motives of another person. You can judge their actions and even make evaluations about their actions, but you cannot judge the human heart.

Motive is appropriately judged all the time in our court system. It's how mercy is applied.

That is exactly what Jesus meant when He said, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1 NKJV). Another way to translate this would be, “Condemn not, lest you be condemned.”

I judge this scripture to mean that I will be judged by the same standards I apply to other people.
