“And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?”
So when you, a mere human, pass judgment on others and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? The rhetorical question exposes the fundamental irrationality of the judger's position: if God judges those who do such things, how can one who does them escape? The appeal to being a mere human suggests that human standards of judgment cannot override divine ones. This establishes a radical principle: moral status before God cannot be claimed through human judgment or self-assessment.
