James 3:1
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
