1Be^G1096 not^G3361 many^G4183 of you teachers^G1320, my^G3450 brethren^G80, knowing^G1492 that^G3754 we shall receive^G2983 heavier^G3173 judgment^G2917. 2For^G1063 in many things^G4183 we all^G537 stumble^G4417. If^G1487 any^G5100 stumbleth^G4417 not^G3756 in^G1722 word^G3056, the same^G3778 is a perfect^G5046 man^G435, able^G1415 to bridle^G5468 the whole^G3650 body^G4983 also^G2532. 3Now^G2400 if we put^G906 the horses^G2462' bridles^G5469 into^G1519 their mouths^G4750 that^G4314 they^G846 may obey^G3982 us^G2254, we turn about^G3329 their^G846 whole^G3650 body^G4983 also. 4Behold^G2400, the ships^G4143 also^G2532, though^G5607 they are so great^G5082 and^G2532 are driven^G1643 by^G5259 rough^G4642 winds^G417, are yet turned about^G3329 by^G5259 a very small^G1646 rudder^G4079, whither^G3699 the impulse^G3730 of the steersman^G2116 willeth^G1014. 5So^G3779 the tongue^G1100 also^G2532 is^G2076 a little^G3398 member^G3196, and^G2532 boasteth great things^G3166. Behold^G2400, how much^G2245 wood^G5208 is kindled^G381 by how small^G3641 a fire^G4442! 6And^G2532 the tongue^G1100 is^G2525 a fire^G4442: the world^G2889 of iniquity^G93 among^G1722 our^G2257 members^G3196 is^G2525 the tongue^G1100, which defileth^G4695 the whole^G3650 body^G4983, and^G2532 setteth on fire^G5394 the wheel^G5164 of nature^G1078, and^G2532 is set on fire^G5394 by hell^G1067. 7For^G1063 every^G3956 kind^G5449 of beasts^G5037 and^G2532 birds^G4071, of creeping things^G2062 and^G5037 things in the sea^G1724, is tamed^G1150, and^G2532 hath been tamed^G1150 by mankind^G5449. 8But^G1161 the tongue^G1100 can^G1410 no^G3762 man^G444 tame^G1150; it is a restless^G183 evil^G2556, it is full^G3324 of deadly^G2287 poison^G2447. 9Therewith^G1722 bless we^G2127 the Lord^G2316 and^G2532 Father^G3962; and^G2532 therewith^G1722 curse we^G2672 men^G444, who^G3588 are made^G1096 after^G2596 the likeness^G3669 of God^G2316: 10out of^G1537 the same^G846 mouth^G4750 cometh^G1831 forth blessing^G2129 and^G2532 cursing^G2671. My^G3450 brethren^G80, these things^G5023 ought^G5534 not^G3756 so^G3779 to be^G1096. 11Doth^G3385 the fountain^G4077 send forth^G1032 from^G1537 the same^G846 opening^G3692 sweet^G1099 water and^G2532 bitter^G4089? 12Can^G1410 a fig tree^G4808, my^G3450 brethren^G80, yield^G4160 olives^G1636, or^G2228 a vine^G288 figs^G4810? Neither^G3762 can salt^G252 water^G5204 yield^G4160 sweet^G1099. 13Who^G5101 is wise^G4680 and^G2532 understanding^G1990 among^G1722 you^G5213? let him show^G1166 by^G1537 his good^G2570 life^G391 his^G846 works^G2041 in^G1722 meekness^G4240 of wisdom^G4678. 14But^G1161 if^G1487 ye have^G2192 bitter^G4089 jealousy^G2205 and^G2532 faction^G2052 in^G1722 your^G5216 heart^G2588, glory^G2620 not^G3361 and^G2532 lie^G5574 not against^G2596 the truth^G225. 15This^G3778 wisdom^G4678 is^G2076 not^G3756 a wisdom that cometh down^G2718 from above^G509, but^G235 is earthly^G1919, sensual^G5591, devilish^G1141. 16For^G1063 where^G3699 jealousy^G2205 and^G2532 faction^G2052 are, there^G1563 is confusion^G181 and^G2532 every^G3956 vile^G5337 deed^G4229. 17But^G1161 the wisdom^G4678 that is^G2076 from above^G509 is first^G4412 pure^G53, then^G1899 peaceable^G1516, gentle^G1933, easy to be entreated^G2138, full^G3324 of mercy^G1656 and^G2532 good^G18 fruits^G2590, without variance^G87, without hypocrisy^G505. 18And^G1161 the fruit^G2590 of righteousness^G1343 is sown^G4687 in^G1722 peace^G1515 for them^G3588 that make^G4160 peace^G1515.
