NASB | James 3:1 Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 3:1 Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly]. |
Bible Question: Greek scholars: The Amplified uses the word condemnation (krima) when it references judgment. How does this align with Romans 8:1 there is no condemnation (katakrima) for those who are in Christ Jesus? |
Bible Answer: In this text it is because Jesus has died on the cross there is no condemnation or ill thought of our past sins. |
