James wants to discourage proud, honor-seekers from becoming teachers. Teaching brings a constant temptation toward pride, so those who are already proud are not ready. To discourage them, James warns that 1) the chastisement for their sins will be greater as teachers, and 2) the opportunity for sin will be far more because of the increased use of the mouth. But those who are gifted should teach. And if you are living for man’s approval, let Jesus take that burden from you.
