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: You are a teacher of God's word? Does that scare you sometimes when you read James 3:1? |
Bible Answer: The Bible is Right, I pray as I study, then before I speak, that I speak only the Truth, so what I say edifies the most. I am not scared, for I ensure all I say is true. I also pattern a prayer with how Paul prayed (Eph 3:14-21) ... and my hope is what follows (4:1-16). Searcher |
