Nolite judicare, ut non iudicemini

The Bible advises: "Nolite iudicare, ut non iudicemini" or in English "Judge not, that ye be not judged."  (Matthew Chap7, verse 1) 

Here ut is used in the sense of "so that" or "in order that", hence the verb in its clause is in the subjunctive.

nolite  2nd person plural imperative of nolo

iudicare  infinitive  to judge

iudicemini  2nd person plural present passive subjunctive  you may be judged
