James 3
New International Version (1984) Help
3Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.G3450G80G1096G3361G4183G1320G1492G3754G2983G3187G2917
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.G1063G4183G4417G537G1536G4417G3756G1722G3056G3778G5046G435G1415G2532G5468G3650G4983
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.G2400G906G5469G1519G2462G4750G4314G846G3982G2254G2532G3329G846G3650G4983
4Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.G2400G2532G4143G5607G5082G2532G1643G5259G4642G417G3329G5259G1646G4079G3699G302G2116G3730G1014
5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.G2532G3779G1100G2076G3398G3196G2532G3166G2400G2245G5208G3641G4442G381
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.G2532G1100G4442G2889G93G3779G2525G1100G1722G2257G3196G4695G3650G4983G2532G5394G5164G1078G2532G5394G5259G1067
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,G1063G3956G5449G2342G5037G2532G4071G5037G2062G2532G1724G1150G2532G1150G5449G442
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.G1161G1100G1410G3762G444G1150G183G2556G3324G2287G2447
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.G1722G846G2127G2316G2532G3962G2532G1722G846G2672G444G3588G1096G2596G3669G2316
10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.G1537G846G4750G1831G2129G2532G2671G3450G80G5023G5534G3756G3779G1096
11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?G3385G4077G1032G1537G846G3692G1099G2532G4089
12My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.G3361G1410G4808G3450G80G4160G1636G2228G288G4810G3779G3762G4077G4160G252G5204G2532G1099
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.G5101G4680G2532G1990G1722G5213G1166G1537G2570G391G846G2041G1722G4240G4678
14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.G1161G1487G2192G4089G2205G2532G2052G1722G5216G2588G2620G3361G2532G5574G2596G225
15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.G3778G4678G2076G2718G3756G509G235G1919G5591G1141
16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.G1063G3699G2205G2532G2052G1563G181G2532G3956G5337G4229
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.G1161G4678G509G2076G4412G3303G53G1899G1516G1933G2138G3324G1656G2532G18G2590G87G2532G505
18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.G1161G2590G1343G4687G1722G1515G4160G1515
