Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
What does it say?
You have no excuse, for whatever basis you judge someone else while doing the very thing yourself, you are condemning yourself.

How Romans 2:1 is applied across Bible answers
Should we be judging others (Matthew 7:1-2)?
Paul is effectively making the same point that Jesus made1. His warning is for those who judge others while engaging in the same thing themselves. He says that God will be their ultimate judge for their deeds.
