James 4:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Let God Be the Judge
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother is speaking against the law and judging the law. But if you judge the law, you are not one who does the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver and judge. He is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
