Iacobi 3
1 Nolite plures magistri fieri fratres mei, scientes quoniam majus judicium sumitis.
Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive.
2 In multis enim offendimus omnes. Si quis in verbo non offendit, hic perfectus est vir: potest etiam freno circumducere totum corpus.
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 Si autem equis frena in ora mittimus ad consentiendum nobis, et omne corpus illorum circumferimus.
(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 Ecce et naves, cum magnæ sint, et a ventis validis minentur, circumferuntur a modico gubernaculo ubi impetus dirigentis voluerit.
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 Ita et lingua modicum quidem membrum est, et magna exaltat. Ecce quantus ignis quam magnam silvam incendit!
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 Et lingua ignis est, universitas iniquitatis. Lingua constituitur in membris nostris, quæ maculat totum corpus, et inflammat rotam nativitatis nostræ inflammata a gehenna. (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 Omnis enim natura bestiarum, et volucrum, et serpentium, et ceterorum domantur, et domita sunt a natura humana:
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 linguam autem nullus hominum domare potest: inquietum malum, plena veneno mortifero.
the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N(k)O*) evil, full of poison deadly.
9 In ipsa benedicimus Deum et Patrem: et in ipsa maledicimus homines, qui ad similitudinem Dei facti sunt.
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 Ex ipso ore procedit benedictio et maledictio. Non oportet, fratres mei, hæc ita fieri.
Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be.
11 Numquid fons de eodem foramine emanat dulcem et amaram aquam?
surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter?
12 Numquid potest, fratres mei, ficus uvas facere, aut vitis ficus? Sic neque salsa dulcem potest facere aquam.
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 Quis sapiens et disciplinatus inter vos? Ostendat ex bona conversatione operationem suam in mansuetudine sapientiæ.
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 Quod si zelum amarum habetis, et contentiones sint in cordibus vestris: nolite gloriari, et mendaces esse adversus veritatem:
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 non est enim ista sapientia desursum descendens: sed terrena, animalis, diabolica.
Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic.
16 Ubi enim zelus et contentio, ibi inconstantia et omne opus pravum.
Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing.
17 Quæ autem desursum est sapientia, primum quidem pudica est, deinde pacifica, modesta, suadibilis, bonus consentiens, plena misericordia et fructibus bonis, non judicans, sine simulatione.
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 Fructus autem justitiæ, in pace seminatur, facientibus pacem.
[The] fruit moreover (*k*) of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
