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

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
