James 3:1
|
|
Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing
that we shall receive heavier judgment. |
|
|
|
|
|
James 3:2
|
|
For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth
not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. |
| |
|
|
|
James 3:3
|
|
Now if we put the horses' bridles into their
mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. |
| |
|
|
|
James 3:4
|
|
Behold,
the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet
turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

James 3:5
|
|
So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! |
| |
|
|
|
James 3:6
|
|
And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity
among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on
fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. |
| |
|
|
|
James 3:7
|
|
For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping
things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:8
|
|
But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless
evil, it is full of deadly poison. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:9
|
|
Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and
therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: |
|
|
|
|
James 3:10
|
|
out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing
and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:11
|
|
Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening
sweet water and bitter? |
|
|
|
|
James 3:12
|
|
Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or
a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:13
|
|
Who is wise and understanding among you? let
him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:14
|
|
But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in
your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:15
|
|
This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down
from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:16
|
|
For where jealousy and faction are, there is
confusion and every vile deed. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:17
|
|
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without
variance, without hypocrisy. |
|
|
|
|
James 3:18
|
|
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace
for them that make peace. |
