James 3:1 - Arno Geneva Study Bible

Bible Comments

My (1) brethren, be not many masters, (2) knowing that we (a) shall receive the greater condemnation.

(1) The sixth part or place: Let no man usurp (as most men ambitiously do) authority to judge and censure others harshly. (2) A reason: Because they provoke God's anger against themselves, who do so eagerly and harshly condemn others, being themselves guilty and faulty.

(a) Unless we cease from this imperious and proud finding of fault with others.
