James 4:10-12
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
10 Humble-yourselves[a] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
So Do Not Be Speaking Against Or Judging One Another
11 Do not be speaking-against one another, brothers. The one speaking-against a brother or judging his brother is speaking-against the Law and judging the Law. But if you are judging the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge. 12 There is one Lawgiver and Judge— the One being able to save and to destroy. But who are you, the one judging your neighbor?
