James 4:10-12
New Life Version
James 4:10-12
New Life Version
10 Let yourself be brought low before the Lord. Then He will lift you up and help you.
Do Not Talk Against Each Other
11 Christian brothers, do not talk against anyone or speak bad things about each other. If a person says bad things about his brother, he is speaking against him. And he will be speaking against God’s Law. If you say the Law is wrong, and do not obey it, you are saying you are better than the Law. 12 Only God can say what is right or wrong. He made the Law. He can save or put to death. How can we say if our brother is right or wrong?

James 4:10-12
New International Version
10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.(A)
11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another.(B) Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[a] or judges them(C) speaks against the law(D) and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it,(E) but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge,(F) the one who is able to save and destroy.(G) But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?(H)
