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