John 7:24
What is written? (ESV)
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.
What does it say?
Don’t judge by appearances but with “right” or “righteous” judgment.
What is its immediate context?
Jesus is teaching in the temple and makes the point that judgment should not only be made by the people but they should be judging based on a “righteous” point-of-view or standard (i.e. Godly).
How John 7:24 is applied across Bible answers
Should we be judging others (Matthew 7:1-2)?
We are not to judge just by appearances, but according to a Godly standard.
Should you follow your heart?
Jesus commands that we don't judge based on appearances, but what is "right" or "righteous". This is the same point made in Hebrews9.
