>IL: I am reluctant to impose a Semitic idiom here. Of course, the word "judge" is rather broad, and has both a negative and positive aspect or application. The >negative aspect in English is carried by "judgmental". And that negative aspect is often cause by pride, a sense of superiority or a selfish attitude. A positive judging >does require humility, but I don't think that can be derived from the tense of the word used.

Do you know of any list that lists accepted Semitic idioms in the GNT?  Such a list would be helpful, since it would allow us to analyze how the idioms were translated into Greek, thereby, perhaps, leaving clues that would help facilitate the discovery other possible Semitic idioms in the GNT and/or LXX.
