Read Matthew 7:1-5
Having good judgment/discernment is part of wisdom. However, in dealing with people we are not to use our judgment as a tool to exclude people or prevent them from the experiencing the Kingdom of God. As far as righteousness before God, none of us have a leg to stand on. As Jesus put it, we all have logs sticking out of our eyes. That is no small problem. But our tendency is to overlook our own faults and see multiple faults in others.
If we want mercy from God, then we need to extend mercy and grace to others. Giving people a great deal of slack is wise and godly. Once we see our own need of mercy we can approach others in a manner of help and healing.
Consider memorizing these verses for yourself and to share with others: Romans 8:1-2.
