My
brethren,
be
not many masters
, knowing that we shall
receive the
greater
condemnation
.
Let
not many of
you
be
teachers
, my
brothers,
knowing that we will
receive heavier
judgment
.
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.
For in many things we all stumble
. If anyone
doesn't
stumble
in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also
.
Behold
, we put bits in
the horses' mouths ,
that they may obey us ;
and we turn
about
their whole body.
Indeed
, we put bits into
the horses' mouths so
that they may obey us ,
and we guide
their whole body.
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
.
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
.
Even
so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold,
how great
a matter
a
little
fire kindleth
!
So the tongue is also
a little member, and boasts
great things. See
how a small
fire can
spread
to
a
large
forest
!
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
.
And the tongue is a fire .
The
world of iniquity among 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
.
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 :
For every kind of animal
, bird
, creeping
thing
, and thing
in the sea, is tamed, and has
been tamed by
mankind .
But the
tongue
can no
man
tame ;
it is an
unruly
evil, full of deadly poison.
But nobody
can tame the
tongue.
It is a
restless
evil, full of deadly poison.
Therewith
bless
we God ,
even
the
Father ;
and therewith
curse
we men, which
are made after
the similitude
of God.
With
it
we bless
our
God and
Father ,
and with
it
we curse
men, who
are made in
the image
of God.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth
blessing and cursing. My brethren
, these things ought not so
to be.
Out of the same mouth comes
forth
blessing and cursing. My brothers
, these things ought not to be so
.
Doth
a fountain
send forth
at
the same place
sweet
water
and bitter?
Does
a spring
send out
from
the same opening
fresh
and bitter water
?
Can the
fig tree, my brethren
, bear
olive
berries?
either
a vine ,
figs? so
can
no fountain
both yield
salt water and fresh.
Can a
fig tree, my brothers
, yield
olives,
or
a vine figs? Thus
no spring
yields
both salt water and fresh water
.
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.
Who is wise and understanding
among you? Let him show
by
his
good conduct
that
his deeds
are
done
in
gentleness
of wisdom.
But if ye
have bitter envying
and strife
in your hearts,
glory
not
, and lie not
against the truth.
But if you
have bitter jealousy
and selfish
ambition
in your heart
, don't
boast
and don't
lie against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth
not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish
.
This wisdom is
not that
which
comes
down
from above, but is earthly, sensual, and
demonic
.
For where envying
and strife
is
, there is confusion and every evil work
.
For where jealousy
and selfish
ambition
are
, there is confusion and every evil deed
.
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.
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.
And
the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of
them
that
make peace.
Now
the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by
those
who
make peace.
