James 4:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Be humble in the Lord's presence, and he will honor you.

Saying Cruel Things about Others

¹¹ My friends, don't say cruel things about others! If you do, or if you condemn others, you are condemning God's Law. And if you condemn the Law, you put yourself above the Law and refuse to obey either it ¹² or God who gave it. God is our judge, and he can save or destroy us. What right do you have to condemn anyone?
