James 3:8-17

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.
