James 4
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
11 Ref Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.
12 Ref There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?
13 Ref How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
11 Ref 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;
12 Ref one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou -- who art thou that dost judge the other?
13 Ref Go, now, ye who are saying, `To-day and to-morrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain;'

11 Ref 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.
12 Ref Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
13 Ref Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."
