Do not judge...

And they [Troilus the patrician and Sergius Eucratas] said to him [St. Maximus the Confessor]: “How can you said that? It is the case that you’re the only one who’ll be saved, and everyone [else] will be lost?”

And he [St. Maximus] said: ‘The three boys didn’t pass judgment on anyone when they didn’t adore the idol, while all [other] people did. I mean that they didn’t examine the affairs of others, but they examined the question [of] how they personally shouldn’t lapse from true religious observance. Similarly, too, when Daniel was thrown into the lions’ den he didn’t pass judgement on anyone who hadn’t prayed to God in accordance with the decree of Darius, but he examined his own conduct. And he chose to die and not to backslide from God, and to be flayed by his own conscience in the matter of the transgression of the natural law. May God then grant me too not to pass judgement on anyone or to declare that I’m the only one who’s saved. To the best of my ability I’ll choose to die rather than have on my conscience the worry that in some way or other I have suffered a lapse with regard to belief in God.’
