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: How can we know if a teacher is teaching what is right according to God's will or not? |
Bible Answer: Question: "How can we know if a teacher is teaching what is right according to God's will or not?" Answer: Acts 17:11 "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." The Bereans tested everything that Paul said against Scripture, and "many of them believed" (v. 12) as a result of Paul's teaching. Blessings to you, Makarios |
