James 3:5-18

5SoG3779 alsoG2532 the tongueG1100 is a smallG3398 partG3196 of the body, and yet it 1boastsG850 of greatG3173 thingsG3173.

2SeeG2400 howG2245 greatG2245 a forestG5208 is setG381 aflameG381 by suchG2245 aG2245 smallG2245 fireG4442! 6And 3the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, the very worldG2889 of unrighteousnessG93; the tongueG1100 is setG2525 amongG1722 4our body’s partsG3196 as that which 5defilesG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 and setsG5394 onG5394 fireG5394 the courseG5164 of our 6lifeG1078, and is setG5394 onG5394 fireG5394 by 78hellG1067. 7For everyG3956 9speciesG5449 of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of reptilesG2062 and creaturesG1724 ofG1724 theG1724 seaG1724, is tamedG1150 and has been tamedG1150 by the humanG442 10raceG5449. 8But noG3762 oneG3762 among mankindG444 canG1410 tameG1150 the tongueG1100; it is a restlessG182 evilG2556, fullG3324 of 11deadlyG2287 poisonG2447. 9With it we blessG2127 12our LordG2962 and FatherG3962, and with it we curseG2672 peopleG444, 13who have beenG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3669 of GodG2316; 10from the sameG846 mouthG4750 comeG1831 both blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brothersG80 and sisters, theseG3778 thingsG3778 shouldG5534 not be thisG3779 wayG3779. 11Does a springG4077 sendG1032 outG1032 from the sameG846 openingG3692 both 14freshG1099 and bitterG4089 water? 1215CanG1410 a figG4808 treeG4808, my brothersG80 and sisters, bearG4160 olivesG1636, orG2228 a vineG288 bear figsG4810? NorG3777 can saltG252 waterG5204 produceG4160 16freshG1099.

13WhoG5101 amongG1722 you is wiseG4680 and understandingG1990? 17Let him showG1166 by his 18goodG2570 behaviorG391 his deedsG2041 in the gentlenessG4240 of wisdomG4678. 14But ifG1487 you haveG2192 bitterG4089 19jealousyG2205 and 20selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 in your heartG2588, do not be arrogantG2620 and so lieG5574 againstG2596 21the truthG225. 15ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 is not that which comesG2718 downG2718 22from aboveG509, but is 23earthlyG1919, 2425naturalG5591, 26demonicG1141. 16For whereG3699 27jealousyG2205 and 28selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 exist, 29thereG1563 is disorderG181 and everyG3956 evilG5337 thingG4229. 17But the wisdomG4678 30from aboveG509 is firstG4413 31pureG53, thenG1899 32peace-lovingG1516, 33gentleG1933, 34reasonableG2138, 35fullG3324 of mercyG1656 and goodG18 fruitsG2590, 3637impartialG87, freeG505 ofG505 38hypocrisyG505. 18And the 39fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 in peaceG1515 40by thoseG3588 who makeG4160 peaceG1515.
