< James 3 >

1 Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive. 2 In many ways for we stumble all; If anyone in what he says not does stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle indeed all the body. 3 (If *NO) (now *N+K+o) of the horses bits into the mouths we put (for *N+kO) to obey them us, even all the body of them we turn about. 4 Behold also the ships, so great being and by winds strong being driven, are turned about by a very small rudder where (ever *k) the impulse [of the one] who is steering (decides. *N+kO) 5 Thus also the tongue a small member is and exceeding things it boasts. Behold (a great *N+kO) fire how great a forest it kindles; 6 Also the tongue [is] a fire, the world of iniquity (thus *k) The tongue is set among the members of us which is defiling all the body and setting on fire the course of nature and [itself] being set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067) 7 All for kinds of beasts both and of birds, of creeping things both and things of the sea is subdued and he has been subdued by the race human; 8 the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N+kO) evil, full of poison deadly. 9 With it we bless the (Lord *N+KO) and Father and with it we curse men those according to [the] likeness of God having been made; 10 Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be. 11 surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter? 12 Surely not is able, brothers of mine, a fig tree olives to produce Or a vine figs? (thus *k) (Nor *N+kO) (spring *K) of salt (and *k) fresh to produce water. 13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you? he should show out of the good conduct the works of him in [the] humility of wisdom. 14 If however jealousy bitter you have and self-interest in the heart of you, not do boast [of it] and do lie against the truth. 15 Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic. 16 Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing. 17 But the from above wisdom first indeed pure is, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and of fruits good, impartial, (and *k) sincere. 18 [The] fruit moreover of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
