< James 3 >

1 Let there not be many teachers among you, my brethren; but know ye, that we are obnoxious to, a severer judgment.
Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive.
2 For we all offend in many things. Whoever offendeth not in discourse, is a perfect man, who can also keep his whole body in subjection.
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 Behold, we put bridles into the mouth of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
(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 Huge ships also, when strong winds drive them, are turned about by a small timber, to what place the pleasure of the pilot looketh.
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 So likewise the tongue is a small member, and it exalteth itself. Also a little fire inflameth large forests.
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 Now the tongue is a fire, and the world of sin is like a forest. And this tongue, which is one among our members, marreth our whole body; and it inflameth the series of our generations that roll on like a wheel; and it is itself on fire. (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 all natures of beasts and birds and reptiles, of the sea or land, are subjugated by the nature of man.
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 hath no one been able to tame: it is an evil thing, not coercible, and full of deadly poison.
the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N(k)O*) evil, full of poison deadly.
9 For with it, we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who were made in the image of God:
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 and from the same mouth, proceed curses and blessings. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be.
11 Can there flow from the same fountain, sweet waters and bitter?
surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter?
12 Or can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives? or the vine, figs? So also salt waters cannot be made sweet.
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 is wise and instructed among you? Let him show his works in praiseworthy actions, with modest 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 bitter envy be in you, or contention in your hearts, exalt not yourselves against the truth, and lie not.
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 For this wisdom cometh not down from above; but is earthly, and from the devices of the soul, and from demons.
Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic.
16 For where envy and contention are, there also is confusion, and every thing wrong.
Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing.
17 But the wisdom which is from above, is pure, and full of peace, and mild, and submissive, and full of compassion and of good fruits, and without partiality, and without respect of persons.
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 fruits of righteousness are sown in stillness, by them who make peace.
[The] fruit moreover (*k*) of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
