James 3
1 Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.
Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive.
2 For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.
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 Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.
(If *NO*) (now *N(K)(o)*) of the horses bits into the mouths we put (for *N(k)O*) to obey them us, even all the body of them we turn about.
4 And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.
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(k)O*)
5 Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!
Thus also the tongue a small member is and exceeding things it boasts. Behold (a great *N(k)O*) fire how great a forest it kindles;
6 And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell. (Geenna g1067)
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 For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;
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 But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.
the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N(k)O*) evil, full of poison deadly.
9 With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.
With it we bless the (Lord *N(K)O*) and Father and with it we curse men those according to [the] likeness of God having been made;
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.
Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be.
11 Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?
surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter?
12 Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?
Surely not is able, brothers of mine, a fig tree olives to produce Or a vine figs? (thus *k*) (Nor *N(k)O*) (spring *K*) of salt (and *k*) fresh to produce water.
13 Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.
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 But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.
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 This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.
Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic.
16 For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing.
17 But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
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 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.
[The] fruit moreover (*k*) of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
