1 Corinthians 5:12
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

Paul considered the judging of those outside the church to be none of his business. It seems the contemporary church often disagrees. In fact, we do the exact opposite in many cases. We exclusively judge those outside the church and fail to judge sin inside the church.
What verses do you think are ignored?

"[Love] keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:5
James 1:22 - "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
Hebrews 6:4-6
For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame
thanks for commentings :)
I am asking around and trying to compile a list of 10 or so and then maybe do a series on them in the future
You're preaching to the chior on this one with me. How do we influence the ones around us to acknowledge this verse though?
Matthew 25:41-46 = the most important verses about God's love in the Bible other than John 3:16. (incarnational love).
Jo's paraphrase:
"Depart from me....I was hungry, thirsty, needy, a stranger, sick, in prison, etc...and you did not help me. What you did not do for those around you, you did not do for me. And actions speak louder than words....You don't love me, because you do not do as I would do."
Romans 3:3-4
"What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true..."
