In the sense of harsh judgment as in Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:37 (explained by καταδικαζω katadikazō).Not a doer of the law, but a judge (ουκ ποιητης νομου αλλα κριτης ouk poiētēs nomoualla kritēs). This tone of superiority to law is here sharply condemned. James has in mind God‘s law, of course, but the point is the same for all laws under which we live. We cannot select the laws which we will obey unless some contravene God‘s law, and so our own conscience (Acts 4:20). Then we are willing to give our lives for our rebellion if need be. [source]
