James 3
3My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.G3450G80G1096G3361G4183G1320G1492G3754G2983G3187G29172For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.G1063G4183G4417G537G1536G4417G3756G1722G3056G3778G5046G435G1415G2532G5468G3650G49833Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.G2400G906G5469G1519G2462G4750G4314G846G3982G2254G2532G3329G846G3650G49834Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.G2400G2532G4143G5607G5082G2532G1643G5259G4642G417G3329G5259G1646G4079G3699G302G2116G3730G10145Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!G2532G3779G1100G2076G3398G3196G2532G3166G2400G2245G5208G3641G4442G3816And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.G2532G1100G4442G2889G93G3779G2525G1100G1722G2257G3196G4695G3650G4983G2532G5394G5164G1078G2532G5394G5259G10677For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:G1063G3956G5449G2342G5037G2532G4071G5037G2062G2532G1724G1150G2532G1150G5449G4428But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.G1161G1100G1410G3762G444G1150G183G2556G3324G2287G24479Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.G1722G846G2127G2316G2532G3962G2532G1722G846G2672G444G3588G1096G2596G3669G231610Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.G1537G846G4750G1831G2129G2532G2671G3450G80G5023G5534G3756G3779G109611Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?G3385G4077G1032G1537G846G3692G1099G2532G408912Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.G3361G1410G4808G3450G80G4160G1636G2228G288G4810G3779G3762G4077G4160G252G5204G2532G109913Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.G5101G4680G2532G1990G1722G5213G1166G1537G2570G391G846G2041G1722G4240G467814But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.G1161G1487G2192G4089G2205G2532G2052G1722G5216G2588G2620G3361G2532G5574G2596G22515This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.G3778G4678G2076G2718G3756G509G235G1919G5591G114116For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.G1063G3699G2205G2532G2052G1563G181G2532G3956G5337G422917But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.G1161G4678G509G2076G4412G3303G53G1899G1516G1933G2138G3324G1656G2532G18G2590G87G2532G50518And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.G1161G2590G1343G4687G1722G1515G4160G1515
