James 4:11

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
World English Bible (WEB)
Speak{G2635} not{G3361} evil{G2635}{(G5720)} one of another{G240}, brethren{G80}. He that speaketh evil{G2635}{(G5723)} of his brother{G80}, and{G2532} judgeth{G2919}{(G5723)} his{G846} brother{G80}, speaketh evil{G2635}{(G5719)} of the law{G3551}, and{G2532} judgeth{G2919}{(G5719)} the law{G3551}: but{G1161} if{G1487} thou judge{G2919}{(G5719)} the law{G3551}, thou art{G1488}{(G5748)} not{G3756} a doer{G4163} of the law{G3551}, but{G235} a judge{G2923}.
Strong's King James
(11) Don't speak against one another brothers! The one who speaks against brother or judges his brother, speaks against Torah and judges by Torah. But if you judge by Torah and aren't a doer of Torah, you rather are judged.
The F.O.G*
[11] Brothers and sisters, stop speaking evil against each other. Anyone who speaks against a fellow believer or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you're not keeping it, but setting yourself up as its judge.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;
