People use the "judge not" verse when they don't want to be called out for their sin.

All sorts of things get ripped out of context.
I don't know how commonplace it is but one I came across was "you will declare a thing and it will be established for you" (Job 22:28), used as justification to declare all sorts of things and expect them to happen. Job 22:28 does say exactly that but, taken in its proper context, doesn't mean what those people say it means.

"Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers." 3 John 1:2
Many lives have been ruined by this verse. I'd say it's the cornerstone of the prosperity gospel. It's just a greeting. Nothing more, nothing less.
