Revised Version 1895

1BeG1096 notG3361 manyG4183 teachersG1320, myG3754 brethrenG80, knowingG1492 thatG3754 weG3754 shall receiveG2983 heavier judgmentG2917. 2ForG1063 inG1722 manyG4183 thingsG3778 weG3778 allG3650 stumbleG4417. IfG1487 anyG5100 stumbleth notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, theG3588 sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, ableG1415 toG2532 bridleG5468 theG3588 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532. 3NowG1161 ifG1487 weG2249 putG906 theG3588 horses’G2462 bridlesG5469 intoG1519 theirG846 mouthsG4750, thatG846 theyG846 mayG2532 obeyG3982 usG1519, weG2249 turn aboutG1519 theirG846 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532. 4BeholdG2400, theG3588 shipsG4143 alsoG2532, thoughG2532 theyG2532 areG1510 soG2532 greatG5082, andG2532 areG1510 drivenG1643 byG5259 rough windsG417, areG1510 yetG2532 turned aboutG3588 byG5259 aG1510 veryG1646 smallG1646 rudderG4079, whither theG3588 impulse ofG3588 theG3588 steersman willeth. 5SoG2532 theG3588 tongueG1100 alsoG2532 isG1510 aG1510 littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth greatG3173 thingsG3173. BeholdG2400, howG3779 muchG3173 wood isG1510 kindledG381 byG2532 howG3779 smallG3398 aG1510 fireG4442! 6AndG2532 theG3588 tongueG1100 is a fireG4442: theG3588 worldG2889 ofG4983 iniquityG93 amongG1722 ourG2532 membersG3196 is theG3588 tongueG1100, whichG3588 defileth theG3588 wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth onG1722 fireG4442 theG3588 wheel ofG4983 nature, andG2532 is setG2525 onG1722 fireG4442 byG1722 hellG1067. 7ForG1063 everyG3956 kindG3956 ofG3956 beastsG2342 andG2532 birdsG4071, ofG3956 creeping thingsG3956 andG2532 thingsG3956 inG2532 theG3956 seaG1724, is tamedG1150, andG2532 hath beenG2532 tamedG1150 byG2532 mankind: 8butG1161 theG3588 tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; itG1161 is a restlessG182 evilG2556, itG1161 is fullG3324 ofG444 deadlyG2287 poisonG2447. 9Therewith blessG2127 weG2532 theG3588 LordG2962 andG2532 FatherG3962; andG2532 therewith curseG2672 weG2532 menG444, whichG3588 are madeG1096 afterG2596 theG3588 likenessG3669 ofG2316 GodG2316: 10outG1831 ofG1537 theG3588 sameG846 mouthG4750 cometh forthG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursingG2671. MyG1096 brethrenG80, theseG3778 thingsG3778 oughtG5534 notG3756 soG2532 toG2532 beG1096. 11Doth theG3588 fountainG4077 sendG1032 forth fromG1537 theG3588 sameG846 openingG3692 sweetG1099 water andG2532 bitterG4089? 12CanG1410 a figG4808 treeG4808, myG4160 brethrenG80, yield olivesG1636, orG2228 a vineG288 figsG4810? neitherG3777 canG1410 saltG252 waterG5204 yield sweetG1099. 13WhoG3588 is wiseG4680 andG2532 understandingG1990 amongG1722 youG5210? let himG846 shew byG1722 hisG846 goodG2570 lifeG391 hisG846 worksG2041 inG1722 meeknessG4240 ofG1537 wisdomG4678. 14ButG1161 ifG1487 ye have bitterG4089 jealousyG2205 andG2532 faction inG1722 yourG2192 heartG2588, glory notG3361 andG2532 lieG5574 notG3361 againstG2596 theG3588 truthG225. 15ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 isG1510 notG3756 aG1510 wisdomG4678 thatG3778 cometh downG2718 fromG2718 aboveG509, butG235 isG1510 earthlyG1919, sensual, devilish. 16ForG1063 whereG3699 jealousyG2205 andG2532 faction are, thereG1563 is confusionG181 andG2532 everyG3956 vile deedG4229. 17ButG1161 theG3588 wisdomG4678 thatG1161 isG1510 fromG2532 aboveG509 isG1510 firstG4413 pureG53, thenG2532 peaceableG1516, gentleG1933, easy toG2532 beG1510 entreated, fullG3324 ofG4678 mercyG1656 andG2532 goodG18 fruitsG2590, withoutG505 variance, withoutG505 hypocrisyG505. 18AndG1161 theG3588 fruitG2590 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 inG1722 peaceG1515 forG1722 themG4160 thatG1161 makeG4160 peaceG1515.
