KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
My brethren, be
not
many
masters,
knowing
that we shall receive the
greater
condemnation.
Many
teachers
become
not,
my brethren, having
known
that greater
judgment
we shall receive ,
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 we all make
many
stumbles;
if any one
in word doth
not
stumble
, this
one
`
is '
a perfect man, able to bridle also
the whole body ;
Behold
, we put bits
in
the horses'
mouths ,
that
they
may
obey
us ;
and we
turn
about
their whole body .
lo
, the
bits
we put into
the mouths of
the
horses
for
their
obeying
us ,
and their whole body we
turn
about;
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.
lo,
also the ships, being
so great, and by
fierce winds being
driven
, are led
about by
a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse
of
the
helmsman
doth
counsel,
Even
so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great
things.
Behold
, how
great
a matter
a
little fire kindleth
!
so also
the tongue is a little member, and doth
boast
greatly;
lo
, a little fire how
much
wood
it
doth
kindle
!
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 the
unrighteousness,
so the tongue is
set
in
our members, which
is
spotting
our
whole body, and is
setting
on fire the course of nature ,
and is set on fire by
the
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 nature,
both
of beasts and of fowls
, both
of creeping
things
and things of
the sea, is subdued
, and hath been subdued,
by
the
human
nature,
But
the tongue can
no man
tame;
it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison .
and
the tongue no one
of
men
is
able
to
subdue,
`
it is '
an unruly 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 do
bless
the God
and
Father ,
and with
it
we do
curse
the
men made according
to
the similitude 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 doth
come
forth
blessing and cursing ;
it
doth
not
need,
my brethren, these things so to happen;
Doth a
fountain send
forth
at
the same place
sweet water
and bitter?
doth the
fountain out
of
the same opening
pour
forth
the
sweet and the
bitter?
Can
the
fig tree, my brethren, bear
olive
berries
? either
a vine ,
figs? so can
no fountain both
yield
salt water
and fresh
.
is
a
fig -
tree able
, my brethren, olives
to
make
? or
a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet
water
`is
able'
to
make
.
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 intelligent
among you? let him shew out of the
good behaviour
his works in
meekness of wisdom ,
But
if ye have bitter
envying
and strife
in your hearts
, glory not, and
lie not
against the truth .
and
if bitter
zeal
ye have ,
and rivalry
in your heart
, glory not, nor
lie against the truth ;
This wisdom descendeth
not from above, but is
earthly, sensual
, devilish.
this wisdom is
not descending
from above, but earthly, physical
, demon-like,
For where envying
and strife
is
, there is confusion
and every evil work.
for where zeal
and rivalry
`are'
, there is insurrection
and every evil matter;
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.
and
the wisdom from above ,
first ,
indeed,
is
pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily
entreated
, full of kindness
and good fruits, uncontentious
, and unhypocritical:
--
And the fruit of righteousness is
sown
in peace of
them
that
make
peace.
and the fruit of the
righteousness in peace is
sown
to
those
making
peace.
