< James 3 >
1 not much teacher to be brother me to know that/since: that great judgment to take
Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgement.
2 much for to stumble all if one in/on/among word no to stumble this/he/she/it perfect man able to bridle and all the/this/who body
For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 (if *NO*) (then *N(K)(o)*) the/this/who horse the/this/who bridle toward the/this/who mouth to throw: put (toward *N(k)O*) the/this/who to persuade it/s/he me and all the/this/who body it/s/he to turn
Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
4 look! and the/this/who boat so great to be and by/under: by wind hard to drive to turn by/under: by least rudder where(-ever) (if *k*) the/this/who impulse the/this/who to straighten (to plan *N(k)O*)
Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
5 thus(-ly) and the/this/who tongue small member to be and great to boast look! (how great? *N(k)O*) fire how great? forest to set fire
So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
6 and the/this/who tongue fire the/this/who world the/this/who unrighteousness (thus(-ly) *k*) the/this/who tongue to appoint/conduct in/on/among the/this/who member me the/this/who to stain all the/this/who body and to kindle the/this/who course/wheel the/this/who origin and to kindle by/under: by the/this/who hell: Gehenna (Geenna )
And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity amongst our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna )
7 all for nature wild animal and/both and bird reptile and/both and marine to tame and to tame the/this/who nature the/this/who human
For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8 the/this/who then tongue none to tame be able a human (restless *N(k)O*) evil/harm: evil full poison/rust deadly
but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 in/on/among it/s/he to praise/bless the/this/who (lord: God *N(K)O*) and father and in/on/among it/s/he to curse the/this/who a human the/this/who according to likeness God to be
With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
10 out from the/this/who it/s/he mouth to go out praise and curse no to ought/need brother me this/he/she/it thus(-ly) to be
Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 surely not the/this/who flow out from the/this/who it/s/he hole to pour the/this/who sweet and the/this/who bitter
Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 not be able brother me fig tree olive tree to do/make: do or vine fig (thus(-ly) *k*) (neither *N(k)O*) (flow *K*) salty (and *k*) sweet to do/make: do water
Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
13 which? wise and knowing in/on/among you to show out from the/this/who good behaviour the/this/who work it/s/he in/on/among gentleness wisdom
Who is wise and understanding amongst you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
14 if then zeal bitter to have/be and rivalry in/on/among the/this/who heart you not to boast and to lie according to the/this/who truth
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
15 no to be this/he/she/it the/this/who wisdom from above/again to descend but earthly natural demonic
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 where(-ever) for zeal and rivalry there disorder and all evil thing
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17 the/this/who then from above/again wisdom first on the other hand pure to be then peaceful gentle compliant full mercy and fruit good impartial (and *k*) genuine
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 fruit then (the/this/who *k*) righteousness in/on/among peace to sow the/this/who to do/make: do peace
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
