James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
English “lawgiver” emboldened in James 4:12 was translated from Greek masculine noun 3550 nomothetes that appears only in James 4:12 but God always provides means to define his Hebrew and Greek words for those who follow his 2Timothy 2:15, 19-23 directive. Understanding that English “honour” and “dishonour” in verse 20 and 21 and “unlearned” in verse 23 were translated from Greek feminine nouns 5092 time 819 atimia and Greek adjective 521 apaideutos respectively. Greek feminine nouns 5092 time 819 atimia are indicative of value or no value of human beings pursuant to God’s will [Ephesians 1:10 1Timothy 2:3-4 Romans 8:14-21] relative to the price God paid for us on a Roman cross. Greek adjective 521 apaideutos is from Greek negative particle 1 a that best reflects God’s definition translated into English not and Greek verb 3811 paideuo that best reflects God’s definition translated into “we are chastened” in 1Corinthians 11:32 and into “he chasteneth” “chasteneth” and “chastened” in Hebrews 12:6, 7 and 10 in the context of Hebrews 12:1-13 and into “chasten” in Revelation 3:19. Subsequent to God’s definition of Greek verb 3811 paideuo we understand that Greek adjective 521 apaideutos describes and qualifies more than 8 billion human beings who have not endured God’s chastisement during this earth age and are subsequently the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:4 while only “seven thousand” achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5 & 6 during this earth age. The good news is that God’s “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” “shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows whereby God’s will [Ephesians 1:10 1Timothy 2:3-4 Romans 8:14-21] shall come to fruition. Greek masculine noun 3550 nomothetes is the masculine noun form of Greek feminine noun 3548 nomothesia and Greek verb 3549 nomotheteo that well reflects God’s definition translated into English “received the law” in Hebrews 7:11 in the context of Hebrews 7:1-28 and your understanding will be enhanced by studying Revelation 20:4-6 and John 8:54-59. Greek verb 3549 nomotheteo also well reflects God’s definition translated into English “was established” in Hebrews 8:6 in the context of Hebrews 8:1-13. Greek feminine noun 3548 nomothesia best reflects God’s definition translated into “giving of the law” in Romans 9:4 in the context of Romans 9:1-33.
