James 4:11

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Don't talk trash about each other, family. When you're out here criticizing and judging your brother or sister, you're actually throwing shade at God's law itself. And if you think you can judge God's law, you're not following it — you're trying to be above it.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Talking down about others means you think you're above God's rules, not under them.
