Specifically, the Greek term usually translated as judge also refers to condemnation, a specific conclusion of judgment, and hence the text probably states that those who condemn others would be condemned. This is in line with the similar wording in the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). In its context it is an admonition that only the perfect can judge perfection, and therefore it is not to be done by anybody other than God because only God is perfect.

With all due respect.....I will dare you....NO, I will bet you...whatever you want to bet...you CAN'T go through one normal day without "judging" someone.

I will leave it at that. Give me a day...and a place. I can't wait to collect.
