The term translated as "judge", Greek: κρίνω (krinō), also implies condemnation, and not just judging. In this verse, Jesus warns that one who condemns others will themselves be condemned.

Jesus always made clear that judging was to be done by the Father, and humans should concern themselves with making their own soul ready for acceptance into the kingdom of God.

You can’t serve both God ...
