Yakobus 4:16

4:16 But as it is, ¹  you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

Yakobus 5:9

5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, ²  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ³ 

[4:16]  ¹ tn Grk “but now.”

[5:9]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[5:9]  ³ sn The term gates is used metaphorically here. The physical referent would be the entrances to the city, but the author uses the term to emphasize the imminence of the judge’s approach.
