3.1 Nolite. Sicut monui vos ad opera facienda, sic moneo ad vitanda stulta magisteria. Nolite plures. Multi fuere temporibus apostolorum, qui descendentes de Judæa Antiochiam, non bene eruditi in lege fidei, docebant, credentes ex gentibus debere circumcidi, et alios errores inducebant, quæ veris prædicatoribus non parvum laborem quæstionis contulerunt. Hos ergo ab officio verbi removet, ne impediant veros prædicatores. Majus. BED. Qui indoctus officium docendi usurpat, et Christum non sinceriter nuntiat, majorem damnationem meretur quam si solus suo scelere periret; sicut contra, qui bene ministrat, gradum sibi bonum acquirit.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε

not many teachers /be/_becoming

Alternate translation: “Not many of you should become teachers”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀδελφοί μου

brothers ˱of˲_me

See how you translated the term brothers in 1:2. 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”
