James 2:4
Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
Connections
μὴ κρίνετε κατ' ὄψιν ἀλλὰ τὴν δικαίαν κρίσιν κρίνατε
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-נָשָׂא׀ פְּנֵי שָׂרִים וְלֹא נִכַּר-שׁוֹעַ לִפְנֵי-דָל כִּֽי-מַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו כֻּלָּֽם׃
How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
וְגַם-אֲנִי נָתַתִּי אֶתְכֶם נִבְזִים וּשְׁפָלִים לְכָל-הָעָם כְּפִי אֲשֶׁר אֵֽינְכֶם שֹׁמְרִים אֶת-דְּרָכַי וְנֹשְׂאִים פָּנִים בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃
Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
עַד-מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ-עָוֶל וּפְנֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂאוּ-סֶֽלָה׃
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
Μὴ καταλαλεῖτε ἀλλήλων ἀδελφοί ὁ καταλαλῶν ἀδελφοῦ καὶ κρίνων τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καταλαλεῖ νόμου καὶ κρίνει νόμον· εἰ δὲ νόμον κρίνεις οὐκ εἶ ποιητὴς νόμου ἀλλὰ κριτής
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
הַֽאֻמְנָם אֵלֶם צֶדֶק תְּדַבֵּרוּן מֵישָׁרִים תִּשְׁפְּטוּ בְּנֵי אָדָֽם׃
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
הֵן יָדַעְתִּי מַחְשְׁבֽוֹתֵיכֶם וּמְזִמּוֹת עָלַי תַּחְמֹֽסוּ׃
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
Ἰάκωβος θεοῦ καὶ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοῦλος ταῖς δώδεκα φυλαῖς ταῖς ἐν τῇ διασπορᾷ χαίρειν
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
כִּֽי-יַעֲמֹד לִימִין אֶבְיוֹן לְהוֹשִׁיעַ מִשֹּׁפְטֵי נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
