KJV

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.

BSB

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.

WEB

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. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

YLT

Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge, thou art not a doer of law but a judge;

F.O.G Original

(11) Don’t speak against one another brothers! The one who speaks against brother or judges his brother, speaks against Torah and judges by Torah. But if you judge by Torah and aren’t a doer of Torah, you rather are judged.

F.O.G

F.O.G MSG

¹¹Brothers and sisters, stop speaking against one another. Anyone who criticizes or judges a fellow believer is criticizing God’s Torah and judging it. When you judge the Torah instead of obeying it, you’re not a doer of the Torah but its judge.
