Instead of judging one another, the biblical exhortation is to judge ourselves so as to do nothing to hinder the growth and walk of other believers. Believers are reminded not to impose their personal preferences or conviction on others. Love is to be the motive for being sensitive to the convictions of others and the sacrifice it may call for as adjustments are made. The goal is for personal behavior to edify others, not to undermine or tear down their godly character.
