If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

EXPLANATION

Verse 47. I do not judge him. To judge here, may signify to condemn. Saint Augustine expounds it in this manner: I do not judge him at this my first coming. Saint John Chrysostom says, it is not I only that judgeth him, but the works also that I do.
