James 3:8-12

8butG1161 noG3762 manG444 canG1410 tameG1150 theG3588 tongueG1100. It is a restlessG182 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.

9WithG1722 the tongue we blessG2127 ourG3588 LordG2962 andG2532 FatherG3962, andG2532 withG1722 itG846 we curseG2672 menG444, whoG3588 have been madeG1096 inG2596 God’sG2316 likenessG3669. 10Out ofG1537 theG3588 sameG846 mouthG4750 comeG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursingG2671. MyG1473 brothersG80, thisG3778 shouldG5534 notG3756 beG1096! 11Can both freshG1099 water andG2532 saltG4089 water1 flowG1032 fromG1537 theG3588 sameG846 springG4077? 12MyG1473 brothersG80, canG3361G1410 a fig treeG4808 growG4160 olivesG1636, orG2228 a grapevineG288 bear figsG4810? NeitherG3777 can a saltG252 spring2 produceG4160 freshG1099 waterG5204.
