“Judge not” means do not try to decide who goes to heaven or hell. Only God has enough information - and grace - for that.

But my judging does not affect the outcome.

They are going where God determines, not me, so even if I judge them, it's my opinion.

However, God also gives us commands TO judge with righteous judgment.

And He gives us standards by which to do that.

Unrepentant murderers will go to hell and I will not weep for them.

They were shown far more mercy in this life than they showed their victims and they deserve.

God instituted capital punishment and it should be used in cases as clear cut as that.

I did not finish the quote: “Judge not, lest you be judged.”
This might matter just a bit.
