7th

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Matt 7:3

Then in 1Cor. Paul says "A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup." Examine self, not examine brother. 

And, 1 Tim 1:15 15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

Holy Spirit inspired self examination leads to the  conclusion that I will be judged based on my actions by God alone. I will not be judged in the context of how others are doing or where I place myself in the midst of others.
