 watch against the spirit of censoriousness in ourselves, the habit or tendency to impute evil motives in that which we do not know and which does not meet the eye. (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 There is more discernment in some than in others, and such ought peculiarly to watch against it. It is not that they are to have their eyes shut to what is evil; but they are not to suspect what is not uncovered, nor to go beyond the evidence God gives. (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 Even that which is wrong calls upon love to find out God's way of dealing with what is contrary to God. For the essence of love is, that it seeks the good of the object that is beloved, and this without reference to self. (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 The Lord did not, in anywise, mean to weaken the holy judgment of evil; on the contrary, He, in due time, binds this solemnly upon His people: "Do not ye judge them that are within?" It was the fault of the Corinthians that they did not judge those that were in their midst. It is plain, therefore, that there is a sense in which I am to judge, and another in which I am not. (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 Whatever comes out plainly — what God presents to the eye of His people, so that they know it for themselves, or on testimony which they cannot doubt — they are surely bound to judge. In a word, we are always responsible to abhor that which is offensive to God, whether known directly or indirectly (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 He refers not to that which is plain, but to what is concealed; to that which, if it does exist, God has not yet laid the evidence before the eyes of His people. We are not responsible to judge what we do not know; on the contrary, we are bound to watch against the spirit of surmising evil or imputing motives. It may be that there is evil, and of the gravest character, as in the case of Judas. Our Lord said of him: "One of you is a devil;" and purposely kept the disciples in the dark about the particulars. (Remarks on Matthew 7 by W. Kelly)
 “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Voluntarily blaming others is here condemned. “He that is spiritual judgeth all things” (1 Cor. 2:15) is commendable because it is spiritually discerning according to the Word. Judging is required in 1 Corinthians 5:12. (Help on Hard Verses by A.C. Brown)
