Judge or Repent

“Fire and water do not mix, neither can you mix judgement of others with the desire to repent. Even if someone should commit a sin before you at the very moment of death, pass no judgement because the judgement of God is hidden from human eyes. There have been those who have sinned immensely in the open but have done greater deeds in secret, so that those who would disparage them have been fooled, with smoke instead of sunlight in their eyes.”
Saint John Climacus
