Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
And why are you, in your hearts, unable to be judges of what is right?
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
But had it not been implanted in our nature to judge what is right, our Lord would never have said this.
But lest any of the people should allege their ignorance of the prophetical books as a reason why they could not discern the courses of the times, He carefully adds, And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right, showing them that although unlearned they might still by their natural ability discern Him, who did works such as none other man did, to be above man, and to be God, and that therefore after the injustice of this world, the just judgment of the creation would come.
Matthew Henry · Verses 54–59
Christ would have the people to be as wise in the concerns of their souls as they are in outward affairs. Let them hasten to obtain peace with God before it is too late. If any man has found that God has set himself against him concerning his sins, let him apply to him as God in Christ reconciling the world to himself. While we are alive, we are in the way, and now is our time.
