James 4:11

---

← James 4:10	James 4:11 (KJV)	James 4:12 →
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.	Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.	There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
