We should not judge too quickly or without reason, especially when our judgment is based on jealousy or personal bias. We should also avoid assuming the worst or interpreting others' words and actions in the least charitable light. Instead, our judgments must be made with mercy, and without any desire to do harm. Further, we must not judge someone's character based on a single action, and we must avoid the type of judgment that only God can render - judging people’s hearts or intentions. Lastly, we must restrain ourselves from making judgments about someone’s eternal fate (Matthew 18:17).
