...to condemn."? I'm sure it's from the song La Vie Boheme in RENT but I'm very interested to know if it is actually a quote from someone, because I'm hoping to use it for a speech in Christian Studies tomorrow. Any ideas are very welcome, Thank you!!
 
I'm pretty sure that its a variation of what Jesus said in the parable about the adulterous woman.

He said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." when he was talking to the pharisees.
 
Songwriter Jonathan D. Larson. Although the line in the song is based on the scripture.
.But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
