J. N. Darby Translation

One is the lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy: but who art *thou* who judgest thyb neighbour?

JND Translation Notes

b
Lit. "the neighbour."

W. Kelly Translation

12
One is the law-giver and judge that is able to save and destroy; buta who art thou that judgest [thy] neighbour?

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The Revisers rightly say, One is the lawgiver, etc.; but why "only" or "even"? They rightly give "but" in the last clause on authority ample as well as ancient, and "thy neighbor" instead of "another," as in T. R.
