Take the example of Jesus with the woman caught in the act of adultery - really the story of the missing man . This bunch of angry men was looking for an excuse to stone the poor confused woman, yet it takes two to tango and the man was nowhere to be seen. In Jesus' day there were levels of sin: woman sex sin punished by death, other sin was more or less acceptable, while man sex sin was hardly worth fussing about.
Jesus hated their double standards and hypocrisy. He dismissed them with just one sentence: "If any one of you is without sin let him be the first to throw a stone at her" This calls for you as an individual mzwalane ukuba uzinuke amakhwapha. All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory all are utterly dead outside of God's grace Jesus was the only person on this earth who had the right to condemn yet he says to the woman "neither do I condemn you". He also adds "go now and leave your life of sin".
