judge not unrighteously.

We are humans so... humans are humans. Not judge at all that's it even righteously unless you work in the court. Yes, do unto to others what you like others do unto you.

The version of the Bible I have says, 'Do not judge, lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure it will be measured to you.' I think the righteous way to judge would be the way that Jesus did. He loved the sinner and drew them to repentance. He said that if the accusers had no sin to throw the stone to kill the sinner. They all walked away without throwing the stone and Jesus told the sinner to go and not sin anymore. He expected the individual to change because of the love and mercy shown. Unrighteousness is wickedness. The wicked way to judge is to judge from a hypocritical point of view. Before correcting someone we should examine ourselves. The Bible says to remove the large timber from ourselves before trying to take the splinter away from another. If we all treat others with the understanding and mercy that we desire then we will never be guilty of mistreating another.

Matthew 7:3 and Matthew 7:5, and Leviticus 19:17-18 all adress judgement, and my rule of thumb is a simple one-- that I use for everything: what is hateful to you, don't do to your neighbor. To judge righteously, or reprove righteously, we first must look at Matthew-- Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but not the log in your own? We should first address our own shortcomings before addressing those of our neighbor, and remove the "log" from our eye-- first. Only then can we see clearly, and decide whether our neighbor's conduct deserves reproof. And Leviticus--we reprove our neighbor because we love him, as we love ourselves. Righteous judgement requires you look upon your neighbor with a kindly eye-- and so judge righteously--Leviticus 19:15. So to judge righteously, we must base our judgement on empathy, compassion, and love, and not judge the worth of our neighbor or try to judge how God sees them. Judgement also means giving someone the benefit of the doubt, as all of us are valuable to God. John 7:24 and John 9:1-3 also address aspects of judgement. Love also draws people to good far more than judgement-- even the evilest person has probably done some good at some point in their life, this is why we should look for the good and give the benefit of the doubt, always.

I think it simply means telling what is right than telling some twisted truth. People may interpret a situation with different perspectives. But what matters is seeing what really the picture is all about and not as an assuming presumptions that might cause harm.

Righteous judgement,help in the rectification of the wrong doer.You help him without hurting him to understand his mistake and improve.There will be no unnecessary blaming and ill well.Your intention is to help him come out of his fault with least minimum hurt.Any thing other than this unrighteous.
