Berean Standard Bible
“There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?”
James has been confronting quarrels, worldliness and slander among believers. Immediately before this verse he warns against speaking against a brother, since doing so puts one in the place of judging God's law.
