In 1 Corinthians 4:5 is the usage of κρίνω (G2919) the same as in Corinthians 5:3?

1 Corithians 4:5 (NKJV)

5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God. Fools for Christ’s Sake

1 Corinthians 5:3 (NKJV)

3 For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.

If Pauls use of "judged" (determine, distinguish, condemn) in 1 Corithians 4:5 is in the same sense as in 1 Corinthians 5:3,I find it difficult to reconcile the 2 texts
