# Do not complain, brothers ... you
James is writing to all the scattered Jewish believers.
# against one another
"about each other"
# you will be not condemned
This can be stated in the active. Alternate translation: "Christ will not condemn you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# See, the judge
"Pay attention, because what I am about to say is both true and important: the judge"
# the judge is standing at the door
James compares Jesus, the judge, to a person about to walk through a door to emphasize how soon Jesus will return to judge the world. Alternate translation: "the judge is coming soon" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
