If you do judge others expect the same measure to be used to judge you. That's all.

Jesus was teaching not to be a hypocrite. Paul speaks about this in Romans 2 & 14 also.

Paul also teaches that we should not personally judge people outside the church, but he is explicit that we should exercise sound judgment within the church. See 1 Corinthians 5.

The Law of God (summed up in the Ten Commandments) judges those outside the grace of God and Jesus Christ. On the Day of Judgment the Law will be used as the evidence for conviction of those who are doomed to eternal destruction.
