The words you are looking for is "go and sin no more". The Bible instructs us to judge one another. We are to look at a person's actions to see if they are self-destructing and correct them before they perish. If we didn't judge, we would allow pedophiles as priests (OK bad example). We would allow people to walk in front of cars rather than judging their actions. Of course, we are supposed to judge. Jesus was saying in that passage "Don't assume someone is worth more or less than another person. Everyone is offered Salvation".

The church offered to help the mother and she refused. She made her own bed and she will have to lie in it. In Pauls letter to John, he tells the church not to get mixed up with people who claim to be Christians but teach the wrong message.

Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

I agree. and that is what I take issue with. there are many that do precisely that..."Don't assume someone is worth more or less than another person.
