4:11-12 These verses reflect on Matt 7:1 and Luke 6:37 (see study note on Jas 1:22-23). 4:11 Don’t speak evil against each other: This exhortation for peace in the Christian community requires that Christians not slander each other. Slandering one’s neighbor is the same as slandering God’s law, because the law prohibits slander and demands love for one’s neighbor (2:8; Lev 19:16-18; Matt 7:1-5).
