Yakobus 2:4

2:4 If so, have you not made distinctions ¹  among yourselves and become judges with evil motives? ² 

Yakobus 5:9

5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, ³  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ⁴ 

[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “have you not made distinctions” (as the conclusion to the series of “if” clauses in vv. 2-3).

[2:4]  ² tn Grk “judges of evil reasonings.”

[5:9]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[5:9]  ⁴ sn The term gates is used metaphorically here. The physical referent would be the entrances to the city, but the author uses the term to emphasize the imminence of the judge’s approach.
