Matt. 7:5 in context

Matt. 7:4      Matt. 7:6

Matthew 7:5

You hypocrite (who only puts on a show for others), first take the beam out of your own eye, then you will see clearly and take the splinter (the stick, the sawdust, the grain) out of your brother's eye."
[The Greek word for judging, krino, can be used in both a positive and negative sense. Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 that it is not our place to judge those who are not members of the church – they need to hear the gospel! However, we are encouraged to judge: ourselves (1 Cor. 11:31), the fruit of false prophets (Matt. 7:15–23), what is preached (Rom. 16:17–18), prophetic words (1 Thess 5:19–22), the qualifications of a church leader (1 Tim 3:1–7), and a Christian who sins against you (Matt. 18:15–20). Jesus says in John 7:24: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge fairly." We should judge/evaluate, but not superficially or hastily!]
