What biblical verses talk about passing judgment?

Answer 1

Depending upon the translation used, there are over 400 verses using the term judgment. But the most known verse is in Matthew 7 where Jesus tells the crowd, 'Judge not, that ye be not judged...'

Most today use this as a maxim that we are not to judge - period. But that is not what it means. We are not to judge anyone by our own standards unless we too find ourselves being judged the same way when we stand before the Judgment seat. As Christians, we are to use God's righteous Law to judge as is written here:

John 7:24

Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

One of the many things we disciples of Christ are to learn in our lifetimes is how to judge righteously. For one day, we will even judge the angels (1 Corinthians 6:3).
