Speak Wisely

3Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others.G3450G80G1096G3361G4183G1320G1492G3754G2983G3187G2917
2For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.G1063G4183G4417G537G1536G4417G3756G1722G3056G3778G5046G435G1415G2532G5468G3650G4983
3Now if we put bits into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies as well.G2400G906G5469G1519G2462G4750G4314G846G3982G2254G2532G3329G846G3650G4983
4And look at ships! They are so big that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder wherever the helmsman directs.G2400G2532G4143G5607G5082G2532G1643G5259G4642G417G3329G5259G1646G4079G3699G302G2116G3730G1014
5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it can boast of great achievements. A huge forest can be set on fire by a little flame.G2532G3779G1100G2076G3398G3196G2532G3166G2400G2245G5208G3641G4442G381
6The tongue is a fire, a world of evil. Placed among the parts of our bodies, the tongue contaminates the whole body and sets on fire the course of life, and is itself set on fire by hell.G2532G1100G4442G2889G93G3779G2525G1100G1722G2257G3196G4695G3650G4983G2532G5394G5164G1078G2532G5394G5259G1067
7For all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures can be or have been tamed by humans,G1063G3956G5449G2342G5037G2532G4071G5037G2062G2532G1724G1150G2532G1150G5449G442
8but no one can tame the tongue. It is an uncontrollable evil filled with deadly poison.G1161G1100G1410G3762G444G1150G183G2556G3324G2287G2447
9With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in God's likeness.G1722G846G2127G2316G2532G3962G2532G1722G846G2672G444G3588G1096G2596G3669G2316
10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. It should not be like this, my brothers!G1537G846G4750G1831G2129G2532G2671G3450G80G5023G5534G3756G3779G1096
11A spring cannot pour both fresh and brackish water from the same opening, can it -G3385G4077G1032G1537G846G3692G1099G2532G4089
12My brothers, a fig tree cannot produce olives, nor a grapevine figs, can it? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.35G3361G1410G4808G3450G80G4160G1636G2228G288G4810G3779G3762G4077G4160G252G5204G2532G1099

Live Wisely

13Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his noble conduct that his actions are done humbly and wisely.G5101G4680G2532G1990G1722G5213G1166G1537G2570G391G846G2041G1722G4240G4678
14But if you have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, stop boasting and slandering the truth.G1161G1487G2192G4089G2205G2532G2052G1722G5216G2588G2620G3361G2532G5574G2596G225
15That kind of wisdom does not come from above. No, it is worldly, self-centered, and demonic.G3778G4678G2076G2718G3756G509G235G1919G5591G1141
16For wherever jealousy and rivalry exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.G1063G3699G2205G2532G2052G1563G181G2532G3956G5337G4229
17However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.G1161G4678G509G2076G4412G3303G53G1899G1516G1933G2138G3324G1656G2532G18G2590G87G2532G505
18And a harvest of righteousness is grown from the seed of peace planted by peacemakers.G1161G2590G1343G4687G1722G1515G4160G1515
