James 3
1. My brethren <0080-adephos->, be not many <4183-polus->
masters <1320-didaskalos->, knowing <1492-eido-> that we shall
receive <2983-lambano-> the greater <3187-meizon-> condemnation
<2917-krima->.
2 For in many <4183-polus-> things we offend <4417-ptaio-> all
<0537-hapas->. If <1487-ei-> any <1536-ei tis-> man offend <4417-
ptaio-> not in word <3056-logos->, the same <3778-houtos-> [is]
a perfect <5046-teleios-> man <0435-aner->, [and] able <1415-
dunatos-> also <2532-kai-> to bridle <5469-chalinos-> the whole
<3650-holos-> body <4983-soma->.
3 Behold <2400-idou->, we put <0906-ballo-> bits <5469-chalinos-
> in the horses <2462-hippos->' mouths <4750-stoma->, that they
may obey <3982-peitho-> us; and we turn <3329-metago-> about
<3329-metago-> their whole <3650-holos-> body <4983-soma->.
4 Behold <2400-idou-> also <2532-kai-> the ships <4143-ploion->,
which though [they be] so <5082-telikoutos-> great <5082-
telikoutos->, and [are] driven <1643-elauno-> of fierce <4642-
skleros-> winds <0417-anemos->, yet are they turned <3329-metago-
> about <3329-metago-> with a very <1646-elachistos-> small
<1646-elachistos-> helm <4079-pedalion->, whithersoever <0302-an-
> the governor <2116-euthuno-> listeth <1014-boo-lom-ahee->.
5 Even <2532-kai-> so <3779-houto-> the tongue <1100-glossa->
is a little <3398-mikros-> member <3196-melos->, and boasteth
<3166-megalaucheo-> great <3166-megalaucheo-> things. Behold
<2400-idou->, how <2245-helikos-> great <2245-helikos-> a matter
<5208-hule-> a little <3641-oligos-> fire <4442-pur-> kindleth
<0381-anapto->!
6 And the tongue <1100-glossa-> [is] a fire <4442-pur->, a
world <2889-kosmos-> of iniquity <0093-adikia->: so <3779-houto-
> is the tongue <1100-glossa-> among <1722-en-> our members
<3196-melos->, that it defileth <4695-spiloo-> the whole <3650-
holos-> body <4983-soma->, and setteth <5394-phlogizo-> on fire
<5394-phlogizo-> the course <5164-trochos-> of nature <1078-
genesis->; and it is set <5394-phlogizo-> on fire <5394-phlogizo-
> of hell <1067-geena->.
7 For every <3956-pas-> kind <5449-phusis-> of beasts <2342-
therion->, and of birds <4071-peteinon->, and of serpents <2062-
herpeton->, and of things in the sea <1724-enalios->, is tamed
<1150-damazo->, and hath been tamed <1150-damazo-> of mankind
<0442-anthropinos->:
8 But the tongue <1100-glossa-> can <1410-dunamai-> no <3762-
oudeis-> man <0444-anthropos-> tame <1150-damazo->; [it is] an
unruly <0183-akataschetos-> evil <2556-kakos->, full <3324-
mestos-> of deadly <2287-thanatephoros-> poison <2447-ios->.
9 Therewith <0846-autos-> bless <2127-eulogeo-> we God <2316-
theos->, even the Father <3962-pater->; and therewith <0846-
autos-> curse <2672-kataraomai-> we men <0444-anthropos->, which
<3588-ho-> are made <1096-ginomai-> after <2596-kata-> the
similitude <3669-homoiosis-> of God <2316-theos->.
10 Out of the same <0846-autos-> mouth <4750-stoma-> proceedeth
<1831-exerchomai-> blessing <2129-eulogia-> and cursing <2671-
katara->. My brethren <0080-adephos->, these <5023-tauta->
things ought <5534-chre-> not so <3779-houto-> to be.
11 Doth a fountain <4077-pege-> send <1032-bruo-> forth <1032-
bruo-> at <1537-ek-> the same <0846-autos-> place <3692-ope->
sweet <1099-glukus-> [water] and bitter <4089-pikros->?
12 Can <1410-dunamai-> the fig <4808-suke-> tree <4808-suke->,
my brethren <0080-adephos->, bear <4160-poieo-> olive <1636-
elaia-> berries <1636-elaia->? either <2228-e-> a vine <0288-
ampelos->, figs <4810-sukon->? so <3779-houto-> [can] no <3762-
oudeis-> fountain <4077-pege-> both yield <4160-poieo-> salt
<0252-halukos-> water <5204-hudor-> and fresh <1099-glukus->.
13. Who <5101-tis-> [is] a wise <4680-sophos--oneidismos-> man
and endued <1990-epistemon-> with knowledge <1990-epistemon->
among <1722-en-> you? let him shew <1166-deiknuo-> out of a good
<2570-kalos-> conversation <0391-anastrophe-> his works <2041-
ergon-> with meekness <4240-prautes-> of wisdom <4678-sophia->.
14 But if <1487-ei-> ye have <2192-echo-> bitter <4089-pikros->
envying <2205-zelos-> and strife <2052-eritheia-> in your <5216-
humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->, glory <2620-katakauchaomai-> not,
and lie <5574-pseudomai-> not against <2596-kata-> the truth
<0225-aletheia->.
15 This <3778-houtos-> wisdom <4678-sophia-> descendeth <2718-
katerchomai-> not from above <0509-anothen->, but [is] earthly
<1919-epigeios->, sensual <5591-psuchikos->, devilish <1141-
daimoniodes->.
16 For where <3699-hopou-> envying <2205-zelos-> and strife
<2052-eritheia-> [is], there <1563-ekei-> [is] confusion <0181-
akatastasia-> and every <3956-pas-> evil <5337-phaulos-> work
<4229-pragma->.
17 But the wisdom <4678-sophia-> that is from above <0509-
anothen-> is first <4412-proton-> pure <0053-hagnos->, then
<1899-epeita-> peaceable <1516-eirenikos->, gentle <1933-
epieikes->, [and] easy <2138-eupeithes-> to be intreated <2138-
eupeithes->, full <3324-mestos-> of mercy <1656-eleos-> and good
<0018-agathos-> fruits <2590-karpos->, without <0087-adiakritos-
> partiality <0087-adiakritos->, and without <0505-anupokritos->
hypocrisy <0505-anupokritos->.
18 And the fruit <2590-karpos-> of righteousness <1343-
dikaiosune-> is sown <4687-speiro-> in peace <1515-eirene-> of
them that make <4160-poieo-> peace <1515-eirene->.
