Avoid gossip and slander. We shall all be judged one day by the standards of Jesus, not man. We have to answer only to God for our actions. Remember, as you point one finger at another person, three fingers of your hand point back at you.
Why, then, criticize your brother’s actions, why try to make him look small? We shall all be judged one day, not by each other‘s standards or even our own, but by the standard of Christ.
Romans 14:10 Phillips
After all, who are you to criticize the servant of somebody else, especially when that Somebody Else is God? It is to his own Master that he gives, or fails to give, satisfactory service. And don’t doubt that satisfaction, for God is well able to transform men into servants who are satisfactory.
Romans 14:4 Phillips
Father, forgive me my criticism.
