My sentence - Greek: I judge κρίνω krinō that is, I give my opinion. It is the usual language in which a judge delivers his opinion; but it does not imply here that James assumed authority to settle the case, but merely that he gave his opinion, or counsel. That we trouble not them - That we do not molest, disturb, or oppress them by imposing on them unnecessary fires and ceremonies. return to 'Top of Page'
