8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.G1161G1100G1410G3762G444G1150G183G2556G3324G2287G2447
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.G1722G846G2127G2316G2532G3962G2532G1722G846G2672G444G3588G1096G2596G3669G2316
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.G1537G846G4750G1831G2129G2532G2671G3450G80G5023G5534G3756G3779G1096

12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.G3361G1410G4808G3450G80G4160G1636G2228G288G4810G3779G3762G4077G4160G252G5204G2532G1099
13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.G5101G4680G2532G1990G1722G5213G1166G1537G2570G391G846G2041G1722G4240G4678
14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.G1161G1487G2192G4089G2205G2532G2052G1722G5216G2588G2620G3361G2532G5574G2596G225
