James 3:1
My
brethren,
be
not
many
masters,
knowing
that
we shall
receive
the
greater
condemnation.
2
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.
3
Behold,
we
put
bits
in
the
horses'
mouths,
that
they
may
obey
us;
and
we turn
about
their
whole
body.
4
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.
5
Even
so
the
tongue
is
a
little
member,
and
boasteth great
things.
Behold,
how
great
a
matter
a
little
fire
kindleth!
6
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.
7
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:
8
But
the
tongue
can
no
man
tame;
it is an
unruly
evil,
full
of
deadly
poison.
9
Therewith
bless
we
God,
even
the
Father;
and
therewith
curse
we
men,
which
are
made
after
the
similitude
of
God.
10
Out
of
the
same
mouth
proceedeth
blessing
and
cursing.
My
brethren,
these
things
ought
not
so
to
be.
11
Doth
a
fountain
send
forth
at
the
same
place
sweet
water
and
bitter?
12
Can
°
the fig
tree,
my
brethren,
bear
olive
berries?
either
a
vine,
figs?
so
can
no
fountain
both
yield
salt
water
and
fresh.
13
Who
is a wise
man
and
endued with
knowledge
among
you?
let him
show
out
of
a
good
conversation
his
works
with
meekness
of
wisdom.
14
But
if
ye
have
bitter
envying
and
strife
in
your
hearts,
glory
not,
and
lie
not
against
the
truth.
15
This
wisdom
descendeth
°
not
from
above,
but
is
earthly,
sensual,
devilish.
16
For
where
envying
and
strife
is,
there
is
confusion
and
every
evil
work.
17
But
the
wisdom
that is from
above
is
first
pure,
then
peaceable,
gentle,
and
easy to be entreated,
full
of
mercy
and
good
fruits,
without
partiality,
and
without
hypocrisy.
18
And
the
fruit
of
righteousness
is
sown
in
peace
of them that
make
peace.
