And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Do you really think you can judge other people for doing wrong things while you're out here doing the exact same stuff, and somehow God's just gonna let it slide for you?
You can't call out others for what you're secretly doing yourself and expect God not to notice.
📚 Historical Context
