James 3:1 - "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
The word "masters" is better rendered as "teachers" (Diaglott).
"[James] warns against the urge to assume the responsibility of a teacher... stressed the grave responsibility resting upon them. It is a Scriptural principle that 'to whom much is given of him shall be much required' (Luke 12:48)... [The apostles] recognised the need of putting their preaching into practice. In the absence of such an attempt, it is better to remain silent." (James to Jude Expositor, page 49).
