James 3:1 My brothers, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. Dare any of us say with the French king, "L'etat c'est moi" — "The State is myself" — "I am the most important person in the Church"? If so, the Holy Spirit is not likely to use such unsuitable instruments; but if we know our places, and desire to keep them with all humility, He will help us, and the Churches will flourish beneath our care. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.WEB: Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. |
