KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G3450 My G80 brethren G1096 , be [G5737] G3361 not G4183 many G1320 masters G1492 , knowing [G5761] G3754 that G2983 we shall receive [G5695] G3187 the greater G2917 condemnation.

2 G1063 For G4183 in many things G4417 we offend [G5719] G537 all G1536 . If any man G4417 offend [G5719] G3756 not G1722 in G3056 word G3778 , the same G5046 is a perfect G435 man G1415 , and able G2532 also G5468 to bridle [G5658] G3650 the whole G4983 body.

3 G2400 Behold [G5628] G906 , we put [G5719] G5469 bits G1519 in G2462 the horses G4750 ' mouths G4314 , that G846 they G3982 may obey [G5745] G2254 us G2532 ; and G3329 we turn about [G5719] G846 their G3650 whole G4983 body.

4 G2400 Behold [G5628] G2532 also G4143 the ships G5607 , which though they be [G5752] G5082 so great G2532 , and G1643 are driven [G5746] G5259 of G4642 fierce G417 winds G3329 , yet are they turned about [G5743] G5259 with G1646 a very small G4079 helm G3699 , whithersoever G302 G2116 the governor [G5723] G3730 listeth G1014 [G5741] .

5 G2532 Even G3779 so G1100 the tongue G2076 is [G5748] G3398 a little G3196 member G2532 , and G3166 boasteth great things [G5719] G2400 . Behold [G5628] G2245 , how great G5208 a matter G3641 a little G4442 fire G381 kindleth [G5719] !

6 G2532 And G1100 the tongue G4442 is a fire G2889 , a world G93 of iniquity G3779 : so G2525 is [G5743] G1100 the tongue G1722 among G2257 our G3196 members G4695 , that it defileth [G5723] G3650 the whole G4983 body G2532 , and G5394 setteth on fire [G5723] G5164 the course G1078 of nature G2532 ; and G5394 it is set on fire [G5746] G5259 of G1067 hell.

7 G1063 For G3956 every G5449 kind G2342 of beasts G5037 , and G2532 G4071 of birds G5037 , and G2062 of serpents G2532 , and G1724 of things in the sea G1150 , is tamed [G5743] G2532 , and G1150 hath been tamed [G5769] G5449 of mankind G442 :

8 G1161 But G1100 the tongue G1410 can [G5736] G3762 no G444 man G1150 tame [G5658] G183 ; it is an unruly G2556 evil G3324 , full G2287 of deadly G2447 poison.

9 G1722 Therewith G846 G2127 bless we [G5719] G2316 God G2532 , even G3962 the Father G2532 ; and G1722 therewith G846 G2672 curse we [G5736] G444 men G3588 , which G1096 are made [G5756] G2596 after G3669 the similitude G2316 of God.

10 G1537 Out of G846 the same G4750 mouth G1831 proceedeth [G5736] G2129 blessing G2532 and G2671 cursing G3450 . My G80 brethren G5023 , these things G5534 ought [G5724] G3756 not G3779 so G1096 to be [G5738] .
