Romans 2:1

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

2 And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

3 So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
