They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Believers are not to condemn people living in sin but to reconcile them back to God with the message of total repentance from their sins. The saving grace is all and sundry according to Titus 2:11-12. Jesus die for all! It is this grace that took away our sins and translated us to the kingdom of His dear son. "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:"
No one can make himself righteous. We are not born saint!
the entire world must be save for christ
