1 Thessalonians 2:1 [1] This is not a prohibition of judgment, nor is it a command to stop using godly wisdom, common sense, and moral courage together with God's written word to discern right from wrong, to distinguish between morality and immorality, and to judge doctrinal truth. There are many judgments that are not only legitimate, but are commanded (cf JHN 7:24; 1CO 5:5, 12; GAL 1:8, 9; 1JN 4:1-3; 2JN 1:10); however, you cannot judge another if you are committing the same type of sin.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 [2] Because of one's personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, God graciously credits His righteousness to the believer. Justification denotes a legal standing with God as designated only by God. God declares a believer to be acquitted or innocent, then designates the believer to be brought into right standing before Him.

1 Thessalonians 2:22 [10] In Judaism at that time, one of the leading schools of thought (that of Hillel) taught that a man could divorce his wife for any reason, such as cooking a bad meal. Paul may have in mind men who use a flimsy excuse to divorce their wives, with the real intent of marrying another woman. In God's eyes, this is an act of adultery.
