Yakobus 4:12

4:12 But there is only one who is lawgiver and judge – the one who is able to save and destroy. On the other hand, who are you to judge your neighbor? ¹ 

Yakobus 2:12

2:12 Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. ² 

Yakobus 5:9

5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, ³  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ⁴ 

Yakobus 1:25

1:25 But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, ⁵  and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he ⁶  will be blessed in what he does. ⁷ 

[4:12]  ¹ tn Grk “who judges your neighbor.”

[2:12]  ² tn Grk “a law of freedom.”

[5:9]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[5:9]  ⁴ 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.

[1:25]  ⁵ tn Grk “continues.”

[1:25]  ⁶ tn Grk “this one.”

[1:25]  ⁷ tn Grk “in his doing.”
