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: Are Pastors/Teachers/Spiritual Leaders held to a higher standing Biblically? I am not as educated as I should be with Scripture. Where are these scriptures located? Thanks!!! |
Bible Answer: Greetings CheriD! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Take a look at James 3:1 Also, let me encourage you to stick around this forum and also to spend much time alone and in your local church studying the word of God. There is so much to learn and every step of the way is one blessing after another as we grow in the knowledge of our Lord through His word. It will strengthen your knowledge of Him and draw you closer to the Lord! Please do not let your lack of knowledge of God's word discourage you. No one here knows it all either but there are many here with a vast knowledge of scripture that can help you learn. I know because I have learned from them myself! Steve |
