James 3:1-10

  1 G3361 [²not G4183 ⁴many G1320 ⁵teachers G1096 ¹Let there ³be], G80 my brethren! G1473   G1492 knowing G3754 that G3173 [²greater G2917 ³judgment G2983 ¹we shall receive].

  2 G4183 For many times G1063   G4417 we are at fault G537 all together. G1536 If any G1722 in G3056 word G3756 is not G4417 at fault, G3778 this one G5046 is a perfect G435 man, G1415 able G5468 to bridle G2532 even G3650 his entire G3588   G4983 body.

  3 G2396 See! G3588 [⁷of the G2462 ⁸horses G3588 ²the G5469 ³bits G1519 ⁴into G3588 ⁵the G4750 ⁶mouths G906 ¹we put], G4314 for G3588   G3982 them to comply G1473   G1473 to us, G2532 and G3650 [³entire G3588   G4983 ⁴body G1473 ²their G3329 ¹we lead around].

  4 G2400 Behold, G2532 also G3588 the G4143 boats G5082 being so great, G1510.6   G2532 and G5259 by G4642 harsh G417 winds G1643 being driven, G3329 are led around G5259 by G1646 the least size G4079 rudder, G3699 where G302 even G3588 the G3730 thrust G3588 of the one G2116 straightening G1014 wills it to go .

  5 G3779 So G2532 also G3588 the G1100 tongue G3397 [²a small G3196 ³member G1510.2.3 ¹is], G2532 and G3166 brags. G2400 Behold, G3641 a little G4442 fire G2245 how much G5208 material G381 it lights;

  6 G2532 And G3588 the G1100 tongue G4442 is fire, G3588 the G2889 world G3588   G93 of unrighteousness. G3779 Thus G3588 the G1100 tongue G2525 is placed G1722 among G3588   G3196 our members, G1473   G3588   G4696 staining G3650 the entire G3588   G4983 body, G2532 and G5394 blazing G3588 the G5164 whirlwind G3588   G1078 of creation, G2532 and G5394 being set ablaze G5259 by G3588   G1067 Gehenna.

  7 G3956 For every G1063   G5449 species of nature, G2342 both of wild beasts G5037   G2532 and G4071 of birds, G2062 both of reptiles G5037   G2532 and G1724 marine life, G1150 is tamed G2532 and G1150 has been tamed G3588 by the G5449 [²nature G3588   G442 ¹human].

  8 G3588 But the G1161   G1100 tongue G3762 no one G1410 is able G444 of men G1150 to tame; G183 it is an unrestrained G2556 evil, G3324 full G2447 of poison G2287 causing death.

  9 G1722 By G1473 it G2127 we bless G3588   G2316 God G2532 and G3962 father, G2532 and G1722 by G1473 it G2672 we curse G3588   G444 men, G3588 the ones G2596 [²according to G3669 ³ the likeness G2316 ⁴of God G1096 ¹ who are born].

  10 G1537 From out of G3588 the G1473 same G4750 mouth G1831 comes forth G2129 blessing G2532 and G2671 curse. G3756 It does not G5534 behoove us, G80 my brethren, G1473   G3778 for these things G3779 so G1096 to be.
