# Not many of you

James is making a generalized statement. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-genericnoun]])

# my brothers

"my fellow believers"

# we who teach will be judged more strictly

"God will judge us who teach more severely." This probably because those whom they teach trust them to know the truth and teach it correctly.

# we who teach

James includes himself and other teachers, but not the readers, so the word "we" is exclusive. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
