If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
James 4:11, 12
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it. / There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother?

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ / But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, / that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
