One can't escape the command to judge in all of Scripture; whether it is ourselves or others, in the Body or outsiders. Because we have a standard, we must judge. John 7:24 gives us the tool to be good judges; "Judge rightly." How hard can it be?
Jesus complicates everything when He starts examining the heart of the matter. "Go, and sin no more." Our incapacity does not relieve us of the responsibility.
Jon, my only comment is to remember that it is in teaching that you will learn. My advice for what it is, is ask God to tell you how to teach this lesson. Please continue, I am very interested in hearing more.
Tough sledding for the expositor.
