James - Chapter: 3

>
3:1Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,
3:2for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one `is' a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;
3:3lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;
3:4lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,
3:5so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
3:6and the tongue `is' a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.
3:7For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,
3:8and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, `it is' an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,
3:9with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God;
3:10out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;
3:11doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
3:12is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water `is able' to make.
3:13Who `is' wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
3:14and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
3:15this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
3:16for where zeal and rivalry `are', there is insurrection and every evil matter;
3:17and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --
3:18and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

 

3:1My brethren be not every ma a master remembringe how that we shall receave the more damnacion:
3:2for in many thinges we synne all. Yf a man synne not in worde the same is a parfecte ma and able to tame all the body.
3:3Beholde we put bittes into ye horses mouthes that they shuld obeye vs and we turne aboute all the body.
3:4Beholde also the shyppes which though they be so gret and are dryven of fearce windes yet are they turned about with a very smale helme whither soever the violence of the governer wyll.
3:5Even so the tonge is a lyttell member and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth
3:6and the tonge is fyre and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure members that it defileth the whole body and setteth a fyre all that we have of nature and is it selfe set a fyre even of hell.
3:7All the natures of beastes and of byrdes and of serpentes and thinges of ye see are meked and tamed of the nature of man.
3:8But the tonge can no man tame. Yt is an vntuely evyll full of deedly poyson.
3:9Therwith blesse we God the father and therwith cursse we me which are made after the similitude of God.
3:10Out of one mouth proceadeth blessynge and cursynge. My brethren these thinges ought not so to be.
3:11Doth a fountayne sende forth at one place swete water and bytter also?
3:12Can the fygge tree my Brethren beare olive beries: other a vyne beare fygges?
3:13So can no fountayne geve bothe salt water and fresshe also. If eny man be wyse and endued with learnynge amonge you let him shewe the workes of his good conversacio in meknes that ys coupled with wisdome.
3:14But Yf ye have bitter envyinge and stryfe in youre hertes reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth.
3:15This wisdome descedeth not from a boue: but is erthy and naturall and divelisshe.
3:16For where envyinge and stryfe is there is stablenes and all maner of evyll workes.
3:17But the wisdom that is from above is fyrst pure then peasable gentle and easy to be entreated full of mercy and good frutes without iudgynge and without simulacio:
3:18yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

 

3:1My brethre, be not euery man a master, remebrynge how that we shall receaue the more damnacion:
3:2for in many thinges we synne all. Yf a man synne not in worde, the same is a parfecte man, & able to tame all the body.
3:3Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes yt they shulde obeye vs, and we turne aboute all the body.
3:4Beholde also ye shyppes, which though they be so gret, and are dryuen of fearce windes, yet are they turned about with a very smale helme, whither soeuer the violence of the gouerner wyll.
3:5Euen so the toge is a lyttell member, and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth,
3:6and the tonge is fyre, and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure membres, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell.
3:7All the natures of beastes, and of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thinges of the see, are meked and tamed of the nature of ma.
3:8But the toge can no man tame. Yt is an vnruely euell full of deedly poysou.
3:9Therwith blesse we God the father, and therwith cursse we men which are made after the similitude of God.
3:10Out of one mouth proceadeth blessynge and cursynge. My brethre these thinges ought not so to be.
3:11Doth a fountayne sende forth at one place swete water and bytter also?
3:12Can the fygge tree, my Brethren, beare oliue beries: ether a vyne beare fygges?
3:13So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water and fresshe also. If eny man be wyse and endued with learnynge amonge you, let him shewe the workes of his good couersacion in meknes that is coupled with wissdome.
3:14But yf ye haue bitter enuyenge and stryfe in yor hertes, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth.
3:15This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe.
3:16For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes.
3:17But the wissdom that is fro aboue, is fyrst pure, the peasable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudgynge, and without simulacion:
3:18yee, and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace, of the that mayntene peace.
