James 4:10 - Forerunner Commentary

James 4:10

8 ^aDraw near to God and He will draw near to you. ^bCleanse your hands, you sinners; and ^cpurify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 ^aLament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

10 ^aHumble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Do Not Judge a Brother

11 ^aDo not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother ^band judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

12 There is one¹ Lawgiver, ^awho is able to save and to destroy. ^bWho are you to judge another?

Do Not Boast About Tomorrow

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow¹ we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”;
