This is for the man who thinks there are no "mistakes" in the KJV.
Judgment is about God setting what is wrong to right
krisis - decision (subjectively or objectively, for or against); by extension, a tribunal; by implication, justice (especially, divine law)
It seems that in an effort to support their Doctrine of Hell the church, the King James version has changed the meanings of several verses from a neutral meaning 'judgment' to 'condemnation' and 'damnation.'
Thus word 'judgment' itself has become a very unstable word in our language. It has come to mean punishment, not it's original use of a neutral process. The Authorized version renders the word 'judgment as 'condemnation' and 'damnation' about 13 times.
Take this example from...
AV Deut 1:17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment...
CLV Deut 1:17 You shall not recognize faces with partiality in judgment...
The Authorized version seems a bit more harsh, where a closer rendering encourages a more neutral attitude.
Examples like these are spread throughout the Scriptures.

Here are examples of how the term 'judgment' got changed into 'damnation'...
CLV Matt 23:33 "Serpents! Progeny of vipers! How may you be fleeing from the judging of Gehenna?
AV Matt 23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
--------------------------------------------------------

AV Mark 12:40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV Luke 20:47 who are devouring the homes of widows and, for a pretense, are prolix in praying. These will be getting more excessive judgment."
AV Lk 20:47 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shalule receive greater damnation.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV John 5:29 and those who do good shall go out into a resurrection of life, yet those who commit bad things, into a resurrection of judging.
AV John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV Rom 3:8 and why not say, according as we are calumniated and according as any/some are averring that we are saying, that "We should be doing evil that good may be coming?" whose judgment is fair.
AV Rom 3:8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV Rom 13:2 so that he who is resisting an authority has withstood God's mandate. Now those who have withstood, will be getting judgment for themselves,
AV Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV 1Cor 11:29 For he who is eating and drinking unworthily is eating and drinking judgment to himself, not discriminating the body of the Lord.
AV 1Cor 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
--------------------------------------------------------
In many cases the King James version represents judgment as a past event and damnation as a result.
Judgment of the nations does not begin until Jesus Christ returns. The nations nor individuals have not been judged so there has been no damnation.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here are examples of how the term 'judgment' got changed into 'condemnation'...
CLV Luke 23:40 Yet answering, the other one, rebuking him, averred, "Yet you are not fearing God, seeing that you are in the same judgment!
AV Luke 23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV John 3:19 Now this is the judging: that the light has come into the world, and men love the darkness rather than the light, for their acts were wicked.
AV John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is hearing My word and believing Him Who sends Me, has life eonian and is not coming into judging, but has proceeded out of death into life.
AV John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV 1Cor 11:34 Now if anyone may be hungry, let him eat in/at home, that you may not be coming together into/for judgment. Now the rest I shall be prescribing as soon as I should be coming.
AV 1Cor 11:34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
--------------------------------------------------------
CLV 1Tim 3:6 no novice, lest, being conceited, he should be falling in into the judgment of the Adversary.
AV 1Tim 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------
CLV James 5:12 Now before all, my brethren, do not be swearing, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath. Now let your "yes" be "yes," and "not" be "not," lest you should be falling under judging.
AV James 5:12 . But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
-------------------------------------------------------
CLV Jude 1:4 For any/some human/men slip in who long ago have been written beforehand into/for this judgment; irreverent, bartering the grace of our God into/for wantonness, and disowning our only Owner and Lord, Jesus Christ.
AV Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
--------------------------------------------------------
Again judgment seems to be in the past as condemnation, a result of judging, replaces this process.
Even in the United States an effort is made to provide a fair and just judgment for it's citizens, even in it's imperfect state. How much more fair would be God's judgment?
