59_JAM_03_01 my brethren, be not Many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
59_JAM_03_02 for in Many things we offend all. if any man offend not in word, the same [ Is] A perfect man, [ And] able also to bridle the whole body.
59_JAM_03_03 behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; And we turn about their whole body.
59_JAM_03_04 behold also the ships, which though [ they be] So great, And [ are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with A very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
59_JAM_03_05 even So the tongue Is A little member, And boasteth great things. behold, how great A matter A little fire kindleth !
59_JAM_03_06 And the tongue [ Is] A fire, A world of iniquity: So Is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, And setteth on fire the course of nature; And it Is set on fire of hell.
59_JAM_03_07 for every kind of beasts, And of birds, And of serpents, And of things in the sea, Is tamed, And hath been tamed of mankind:
59_JAM_03_08 but the tongue can no man tame; [ it Is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
59_JAM_03_09 therewith bless we God, even the Father; And therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
59_JAM_03_10 out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing And cursing. my brethren, These things ought not So to be.
59_JAM_03_11 Doth A fountain send forth at the same place sweet [ water] And bitter?
59_JAM_03_12 can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either A vine, figs? So [ can] no fountain Both yield salt water And fresh.
59_JAM_03_13 who [ Is] A wise man And endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of A good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
59_JAM_03_14 but if ye have bitter envying And strife in your hearts, glory not, And Lie not against the truth.
59_JAM_03_15 this wisdom descendeth not from above, but [ Is] earthly, sensual, devilish.
59_JAM_03_16 for where envying And strife [ Is], there [ Is] confusion And every evil work.
59_JAM_03_17 but the wisdom that Is from above Is first pure, Then peaceable, gentle, [ And] easy to be entreated, full of mercy And good fruits, without partiality, And without hypocrisy.
59_JAM_03_18 And the fruit of righteousness Is sown in peace of them that make peace.
