Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

In context

1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
