This verse simply states that he who judges will himself be judged. If you impose standards upon others, those same standards will be applied to you.

For whoso does not judge his neighbour who has sinned against him, him shall not God judge for his sin, but will forgive him his debt even as he forgave.

1 Corinthians 16:22: [3] "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha." Galatians 1:8–9: [4] "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you ...
