James 1:24

1:24 For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets ¹  what sort of person he was.

James 5:9

5:9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, ²  so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ³ 

[1:24]  ¹ tn Grk “and he has gone out and immediately has forgotten.”

[5:9]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.

[5:9]  ³ sn The term gates is used metaphorically here. The physical referent would be the entrances to the city, but the author uses the term to emphasize the imminence of the judge’s approach.
