James 3:7-18
7For every kind of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of creeping thingsG3956 and thingsG3956 in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8but the tongueG1100 can no manG444 tame; it is a restless evilG2556, it is fullG3324 of deadly poison. 9Therewith blessG2127 we the LordG2962 and FatherG3962; and therewith curseG2672 we menG444, who are made after the likeness of GodG2316: 10out of the sameG846 mouthG4750 cometh forthG1831 blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brethren, these thingsG3778 ought not so to be. 11Doth the fountain send forth from the sameG846 opening sweetG1099 water and bitterG4089? 12can a figG4808 treeG4808, my brethren, yield olivesG1636, or a vineG288 figsG4810? neither can salt waterG5204 yield sweetG1099.
13Who is wiseG4680 and understanding among you? let him showG1166 by his goodG2570 lifeG391 his worksG2041 in meekness of wisdomG4678. 14But if ye have bitterG4089 jealousyG2205 and faction in your heartG2588, glory not and lieG5574 not against the truthG225. 15This wisdomG4678 isG1510 not a wisdomG4678 that cometh downG2718 from above, but isG1510 earthlyG1919, sensual, devilish. 16For whereG3699 jealousyG2205 and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. 17But the wisdomG4678 that isG1510 from above isG1510 firstG4413 pureG53, then peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, easy to beG1510 entreated, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 and goodG18 fruitsG2590, without variance, without hypocrisy. 18And the fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 in peaceG1515 for them that makeG4160 peaceG1515.
