μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή πολλοί διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε ἀδελφοί μού εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα)

Alternate translation: [Not many of you should become teachers]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί μου

brothers (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Μή πολλοί διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε ἀδελφοί μού εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα)

See how you translated the term brothers in [1:2](../01/02.md). Alternate translation: [my fellow believers]

εἰδότες ὅτι

˓having˒_known that

Alternate translation: [since you know that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα

greater judgment ˱we˲_˓will_be˒_receiving

James is speaking of himself and other teachers but not of his readers, so the pronoun we is exclusive here. Alternate translation: [we who teach will receive greater judgment]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα

greater judgment ˱we˲_˓will_be˒_receiving

By greater judgment, James means that God will judge people who teach his word more strictly than he will judge other people. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly why that is true. Alternate translation: [God will judge us who teach his word more strictly than he will judge other people, because our teaching greatly influences what other people believe and how they live]
