¹² There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

⁴ Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.

²⁸ And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.

¹ So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

¹³ Then let us not be judges of one another any longer: but keep this in mind, that no man is to make it hard for his brother, or give him cause for doubting.

²⁰ But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

⁵ But I will make clear to you of whom you are to be in fear: of him who after death has power to send you to hell; yes, truly I say, Have fear of him.

² Who is this who makes the purpose of God dark by words without knowledge?

¹⁰ And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.

²⁵ So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
