The answer
We have said that judgement is the concern of God alone, and it is not for us to look at the transgressions of others, forgetting our own. Or, that we condemn others, while justifying ourselves when we do the very same thing. According to this commandment of Christ, judgement here becomes a sin for which we will have to give an account.
If our aim is the rehabilitation of others, let this be in love, which covers their lapses and trespasses (1 Pet. 4:8). As such, we should love all men as the Lord Jesus loves us, leaving judgement to God alone, Who is the Just Judge that sees what is concealed in the hearts. He will judge everyone according to His Will.
