Paul said that concerning the way he went about things he didn't allow anyone to judge him. He didn't even judge himself, but left the judgment to his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Of course if you are doing something that could cause you harm or bring the Gospel into disrepute, then the Bible gives provision for someone you trust to come to you and point the thing out, If you listen to that person and put things right, then all is well. If you refuse to listen he can bring another person to remind you of your fault. This is God's way of using a loving brother or sister to give godly correction.

But some random person coming to you to try and sort you out because of something they have heart through gossip is quite another matter, and you can give them the bum's rush. And if that person has upset you, you can go to a trusted brother or sister in Christ to get advice.

So, godly correction and advice is not judgment.
