James 3

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

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

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

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

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

  6 G2532 And G3588 the G1100 tongue G4442 is a fire, G3588 the G2889 world G3588 of the G93 injustice: G3779 so G2525 [G5743] is G3588 the G1100 tongue G1722 among G2257 our G3196 members, G3588   G4695 [G5723] spotting G3588 the G3650 whole G4983 body, G2532 and G5394 [G5723] setting on fire G3588 the G5164 wheel G3588   G1078 of nature; G2532 and G5394 [G5746] being set on fire G5259 by G3588 the G1067 Valley of the Son of Hinnom.

  7 G1063 For G3956 every G5449 nature G2342 of wild beasts, G5037 G2532 and G4071 of birds, G5037 and G2062 of serpents, G2532 and G1724 of creatures in the sea, G1150 [G5743] is tamed, G2532 and G1150 [G5769] hath been tamed G3588 by the G5449 nature G442 of man:

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

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

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

  11 G3385 Whether at all G1032 0 doth G4077 a fountain G1032 [G5719] gush G1537 from out of G846 the same G3692 place G1099 sweet G2532 water and G4089 bitter?

  12 G3361 G1410 [G5736] Can G4808 the fig tree, G3450 my G80 brethren, G4160 [G5658] bear G1636 olives? G2228 or G288 a vine, G4810 figs? G3779 so G3762 no G4077 fountain G4160 [G5658] can yield G252 both salt G5204 water G2532 and G1099 sweet.

  13 G5101 Who G4680 is a wise man G2532 and G1990 endued with knowledge G1722 among G5213 you? G1166 [G5657] let him show G1537 by G2570 a good G391 behaviour G846 his G2041 works G1722 with G4240 meekness G4678 of wisdom.

  14 G1161 But G1487 if G2192 [G5719] ye have G4089 bitter G2205 zeal G2532 and G2052 contention G1722 in G5216 your G2588 hearts, G2620 [G5737] boast G3361 not, G2532 and G5574 [G5732] lie not G2596 against G225 the truth.

  15 G3778 This G4678 wisdom G2076 G2718 [G5748] descendeth G3756 not G509 from above, G235 but G1919 is earthly, G5591 breathical, G1141 demonic.

  16 G1063 For G3699 where G2205 zeal G2532 and G2052 contention G1563 is, there G181 is instability G2532 and G3956 every G5337 heedless G4229 matter.

  17 G1161 But G4678 the wisdom G509 that is from above G2076 [G5748] is G4412 first G3303 G53 pure, G1899 then G1516 peaceable, G1933 gentle, G2138 and reasonable, G3324 full G1656 of mercy G2532 and G18 good G2590 fruits, G87 without partiality, G2532 and G505 without hypocrisy.

  18 G1161 And G2590 the fruit G1343 of righteousness G4687 [G5743] is sown G1722 in G1515 peace G4160 [G5723] by them that make G1515 peace.
