JAS-3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
receive the greater condemnation.
JAS-3:2 For 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.
JAS-3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may
obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
JAS-3:4 Behold 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.
JAS-3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
JAS-3:6 And 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.
JAS-3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents,
and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
mankind:
JAS-3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil,
full of deadly poison.
JAS-3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith
curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
JAS-3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
JAS-3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet
[water] and bitter?
JAS-3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water
and fresh.
JAS-3:13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among
you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with
meekness of wisdom.
JAS-3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth.
JAS-3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly,
sensual, devilish.
JAS-3:16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion
and every evil work.
JAS-3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and
good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
JAS-3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them
that make peace.
