Open English Bible (OEB)English
Do not disparage one another, friends. The person who disparages others, or passes judgment on them, disparages the law and passes judgment on the law. But, if you pass judgment on the law, you are not obeying it, but judging it.

Redet nicht widereinander, Brüder. Wer wider seinen Bruder redet oder seinen Bruder richtet, redet wider das Gesetz und richtet das Gesetz. Wenn du aber das Gesetz richtest, so bist du nicht ein Täter des Gesetzes, sondern ein Richter.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Hermanos, no murmuréis los unos de los otros. El que murmura del hermano, y juzga á su hermano, este tal murmura de la ley, y juzga á la ley; pero si tú juzgas á la ley, no eres guardador de la ley, sino juez.

Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Não faleis mal uns dos outros. A pessoa que fala mal de um irmão, ou que julga seu irmão fala contra a Lei e julga a Lei. Se julgas a Lei, não és praticante da Lei, mas juiz.
