James 4:12

---

← James 4:11	James 4:12 (KJV)	James 4:13 →
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?	Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
