"Judge not, lest ye be judged."

If you are gonna paraphrase, I suggest you do it this way.. "Judge not, that you be not judged... ye hypocrites" because Jesus was talking to hypocrites. "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Mat. 7:1)? Jesus gave that teaching to hypocrites (Mat. 7:5)

Jesus warned against judging falsely or with hypocrisy. For immediately after saying "judge not," Jesus taught just how to judge correctly:

* "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?... Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye." Mat. 7:3, 5

Christ kept this theme throughout His ministry. "Hypocrites," Jesus said, "why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?" (Luke 12:56-57)

Replace your "Judge Not" with the correct "Judge Rightly"

* "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." John 7:24

* Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judge by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? 1 Cor. 6:2-5

Judging homosexual matters is not rocket science... it is plain and simply wrong and needs to be called out.
