Self-judgment is not so much the believer's moral condemnation of his own ways or habits, or of himself, for allowing such ways. Self-judgment avoids chastisement. If neglected, the Lord judges, and the result is chastisement, but never condemnation (Co1 11:32); (Sa2 7:14); (Sa2 7:15); (Sa2 12:13); (Sa2 12:14); (Co1 5:5); (Ti1 1:20); (Heb 12:7).
