James 3:1

Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a stricter judgment.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

Do not become teachers in large numbers, my brothers, since you know that we who are teachers will incur a stricter judgment.

Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly.

Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
