Yakobus 5:6

5:6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you. ¹ 

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 

[5:6]  ¹ tn Literally a series of verbs without connectives, “you have condemned, you have murdered…he does not resist.”

[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.
