James 4:11-12
World English Bible
11 Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law.

Warning against Judging Others
11 Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters.[a] If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. 12 God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?
