"Judge not" in the Bible: Matthew 7:1-3
Jesus' famous reprimand for those who spend lots of time judging others, while ignoring their own faults. We certainly wouldn't want to be judged in the same way we judge others--so leave the judging to God, and focus on correcting your own weaknesses instead.

A lot of “Christians” like to quote the first few lines but they seem to ignore verse 5.
3. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4. How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
We are called to keep out brothers on the straight and narrow path, not the pagans.
When we see a Brother in Christ straying from His truth we are to quietly bring it to their attention.
If they refuse to see His truth then you escalate the attention.
That’s funny that your comment on “judge not…” includes instructions on how to judge.
