μὴ κρίνετε κ.τ.λ. This is the form which the ‘lex talionis,’ or law of reciprocity, takes in the kingdom of heaven.

The censorious spirit is condemned, it is opposed to the ἐπιείκεια, ‘forbearance,’ ‘fairness in judgment,’ that allows for faults, a characteristic ascribed to Jesus Christ Himself, 2 Corinthians 10:1; cp. also Romans 14:3 foll.

ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε. By Christ on the Last Day.
