James 4:12


One is the lawgiver (giver of instruction) and judge –
he who has the power to save (rescue) and to destroy.
[The center of the chiasmus.] But you – who are you to judge your neighbor (your fellow man)?
[God is both lawgiver (Gk. nomo-thetes – the one who gave the teaching with all the commandments) and judge. He also knows the hearts and intentions of all people and can therefore judge fairly, see Rom. 2:12–16; Matt. 7:1–5.]
