Luke 12:57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Acts 23:3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? 1 Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 1 Corinthians 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 1 Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge 1 Corinthians 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 1 Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Titus 2:15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: Galatians 2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? I think the point is made but I invite any yea or nay responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think 'appearance' and "righteous" might mean in the context of the verse? (I am still giving it some thought, so no trick question here...)

What do you think 'appearance' and "righteous" might mean in the context of the verse? (I am still giving it some thought, so no trick question here...) Hi fez, I can give you the defs, 24 Judge <2919> (5720) not <3361> according to <2596> the appearance <3799>, but <235> judge <2919> (5657) righteous <1342> judgment <2920>. 2919. κρινω krino kree’-no; properly, to distinguish, i.e. decide (mentally or judicially); by implication, to try, condemn, punish: — avenge, conclude, condemn, damn, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think. 3799. οψις opsis op’-sis; from 3700; properly, sight (the act), i.e. (by impl) the visage, an external show: — appearance, countenance, face. 1342. δικαιος dikaios dik’-ah-yos; from 1349; equitable (in character or act); by implication, innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): — just, meet, right(-eous). The context is as follows, John 7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. So off hand I would go with that we need to make a closer examination and put our personal suppositions behind us. God bless you and yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
