[Christians are] not to be hasty in making negative judgments on their fellows. It is a dangerous procedure because it invites a similar judgment in return. And it is a difficult procedure because our own faults make it hard for us to see precisely what is amiss in our fellows. Jesus is not, of course, forbidding all judgments; He is warning against the hasty condemnations that are so easy to make, and so characteristic of the human race.

Leon Morris
Leon Morris (1914–2006) war ein australischer anglikanischer Neutestamentler und langjähriger Leiter des Ridley College in Melbourne. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch fundierte Bibelkommentare sowie seine sprachwissenschaftliche Verteidigung der reformatorischen Lehre von der stellvertretenden Sühne gegen theologische Neuinterpretationen. Für Bibelleser verbinden seine Auslegungen bis heute eine genaue historisch-grammatische Textarbeit mit allgemeinverständlicher theologischer Orientierung.
