If you took the scriptures I quoted and the ones you quoted literately or a least at face value you would have a contradiction of the scriptures. One side saying do not judge and other side saying it is OK to judge.
So are you saying Matthew 7:1-5 is not correct? Or is inaccurate?
Matthew 7:1–5
aJudge not, bthat ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and cwith what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, dfirst cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

Matthew 7 is only if you are judging hypocritically. It would be like me having an affair on my wife while judging you for doing the same.
It's something you have to be careful of.
