Is there a kind of "judgment" implied in the.....meizon krima.....of
James 3:1?

What are the .....didaskalois..... here teachers of? Is there any sense
in which it could be used as a technical term in this context to mean
particular persons, i.e., teachers, yes, but especially designated, for
specific purposes?

I raise these questions because in the successive verses there is all
this talk about the tongue and the damage which can be done by it. And
later on there is the discussion of wisdom.
