James 3:8-17

8ButG1161 the tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; it is an unrulyG183 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447. 9TherewithG846 bless weG2127 GodG3588G2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; andG2532 therewithG846 curse weG2672 menG3588G444, whichG3588 are madeG1096 afterG2596 the similitudeG3669 of GodG2316. 10Out ofG1537 the sameG846 mouthG4750 proceedethG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursingG2671. MyG1473 brethrenG80, these thingsG3778 oughtG5534 notG3756 soG3779 to beG1096. 11DothG3385 a fountainG3588G4077 send forthG1032 atG1537 the sameG846 placeG3692 sweetG1099 water andG2532 bitterG4089? 12CanG1410 the fig treeG4808, myG1473 brethrenG80, bearG4160 olive berriesG1636? eitherG2228 a vineG288, figsG4810? soG3779 can noG3762 fountainG4077 both yieldG4160 saltG252 waterG5204 andG2532 freshG1099. 13

WhoG5101 is a wise manG4680 andG2532 endued with knowledgeG1990 amongG1722 youG4771? let him shewG1166 out ofG1537 a goodG2570 conversationG391 hisG846 worksG3588G2041 withG1722 meeknessG4240 of wisdomG4678. 14ButG1161 ifG1487 ye haveG2192 bitterG4089 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588, gloryG2620 notG3361, andG2532 lieG5574 not againstG2596 the truthG3588G225. 15ThisG3778 wisdomG3588G4678 descendethG2718 notG3756 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, sensualG5591, devilishG1141. 16ForG1063 whereG3699 envyingG2205 andG2532 strifeG2052 is, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 workG4229. 17ButG1161 the wisdomG4678 that isG1510 from aboveG509 is firstG4412 pureG53, thenG1899 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, and easy to be intreatedG2138, fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, without partialityG87, andG2532 without hypocrisyG505.
