Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
1:12-27 James addresses the same three topics as in 1:2-11, adding a new dimension to each topic. External testing (1:2-4) becomes internal temptation (1:11-18); the need for wisdom (1:5-8) is related to controlling angry speech (1:19-21); and poverty/wealth relate to the need to act upon God’s word (1:22-25). The section then summarizes these themes (1:26-27).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μὴ πλανᾶσθε
not /be_being/_misled
James is speaking as if some deceptive guides were trying to lead his readers in the wrong direction. Alternate translation: “Do not be deceived”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μὴ πλανᾶσθε
not /be_being/_misled
If your language does not use this passive form, you can express this with an active form. The meaning here is probably not truly passive. That is, even though James speaks as if someone else might lead his readers astray, that is probably not what he means. This could be: (1) a warning James’ readers not to lead themselves astray, that is, not to deceive themselves. That is the interpretation in UST. (2) a simple active meaning. Alternate translation: “Make no mistake about this”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ πλανᾶσθε
not /be_being/_misled
James is referring back to his statement in 1:13 that God never desires to do evil and that God never leads anyone to do evil. Instead, as James will say in the next two verses, God gives only good things to people. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this connection more explicit. Alternate translation: “Do not deceive yourselves, God is not evil, God is good” or “Make no mistake about this, God is not evil, God is good”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί
brothers ˱of˲_me beloved
See how you translated the term brothers in 1:2. Alternate translation: “my dear fellow believers”
