Do not judge others. The meaning is plain. (1) He does not prohibit the civil judgments of the courts against those who commit crimes. (2) He does not prohibit the leaders of the church judging those who live in sin. Christ and the apostles command this. (3) He does not forbid our evaluating people by the things which they do (see Matthew 7:15-20). (4) What he does forbid is "jumping to a conclusion" rashly condemning without looking at the facts [prejudice, intolerance, etc.].
