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: Where is the scripture that states one will be held accountable for their teachings to other Chistians. DAC |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Matt 23:1-33; Luk 20:47; Jam 3:1-12 ... DAC, greetings. I think you are looking for James 3:1. Look at the context (vv 1-12) ... teachers can do great damage with their tongue. Look at what Jesus said on earth (Mat 23:1-33, Luk 20:47). Hope this helps, Searcher PS There are three other threads for this verse, which may interest you. |
