James 3

3:1

My
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

be
<1096> (5737)

not
<3361>

many
<4183>

masters
<1320>_,

knowing
<1492> (5761)

that
<3754>

we shall receive
<2983> (5695)

the greater
<3187>

condemnation
<2917>_.

{condemnation: or, judgment}

3:2

For
<1063>

in many things
<4183>

we offend
<4417> (5719)

all
<537>_.

If any man
<1536>

offend
<4417> (5719)

not
<3756>

in
<1722>

word
<3056>_,

the same
<3778>

[is] a perfect
<5046>

man
<435>_,

[and] able
<1415>

also
<2532>

to bridle
<5468> (5658)

the whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_.

3:3

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

we put
<906> (5719)

bits
<5469>

in
<1519>

the horses
<2462>_'

mouths
<4750>_,

that
<4314>

they
<846>

may obey
<3982> (5745)

us
<2254>_;

and
<2532>

we turn about
<3329> (5719)

their
<846>

whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_.

3:4

Behold
<2400> (5628)

also
<2532>

the ships
<4143>_,

which though [they be]
<5607> (5752)

so great
<5082>_,

and
<2532>

[are] driven
<1643> (5746)

of
<5259>

fierce
<4642>

winds
<417>_,

yet are they turned about
<3329> (5743)

with
<5259>

a very small
<1646>

helm
<4079>_,

whithersoever
<3699> <302>

the governor
<2116> (5723)

listeth
<3730> <1014> (5741)_.

3:5

Even
<2532>

so
<3779>

the tongue
<1100>

is
<2076> (5748)

a little
<3398>

member
<3196>_,

and
<2532>

boasteth great things
<3166> (5719)_.

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

how great
<2245>

a matter
<5208>

a little
<3641>

fire
<4442>

kindleth
<381> (5719)_!

{a matter: or, wood}

3:6

And
<2532>

the tongue
<1100>

[is] a fire
<4442>_,

a world
<2889>

of iniquity
<93>_:

so
<3779>

is
<2525> (5743)

the tongue
<1100>

among
<1722>

our
<2257>

members
<3196>_,

that it defileth
<4695> (5723)

the whole
<3650>

body
<4983>_,

and
<2532>

setteth on fire
<5394> (5723)

the course
<5164>

of nature
<1078>_;

and
<2532>

it is set on fire
<5394> (5746)

of
<5259>

hell
<1067>_.

{course: Gr. wheel}

3:7

For
<1063>

every
<3956>

kind
<5449>

of beasts
<2342>_,

and
<5037> <2532>

of birds
<4071>_,

and
<5037>

of serpents
<2062>_,

and
<2532>

of things in the sea
<1724>_,

is tamed
<1150> (5743)_,

and
<2532>

hath been tamed
<1150> (5769)

of mankind
<5449> <442>_:

{kind: Gr. nature} {mankind: Gr. nature of man}

3:8

But
<1161>

the tongue
<1100>

can
<1410> (5736)

no
<3762>

man
<444>

tame
<1150> (5658)_;

[it is] an unruly
<183>

evil
<2556>_,

full
<3324>

of deadly
<2287>

poison
<2447>_.

3:9

Therewith
<1722> <846>

bless we
<2127> (5719)

God
<2316>_,

even
<2532>

the Father
<3962>_;

and
<2532>

therewith
<1722> <846>

curse we
<2672> (5736)

men
<444>_,

which
<3588>

are made
<1096> (5756)

after
<2596>

the similitude
<3669>

of God
<2316>_.

3:10

Out of
<1537>

the same
<846>

mouth
<4750>

proceedeth
<1831> (5736)

blessing
<2129>

and
<2532>

cursing
<2671>_.

My
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

these things
<5023>

ought
<5534> (5724)

not
<3756>

so
<3779>

to be
<1096> (5738)_.

3:11

Doth
<3385>

a fountain
<4077>

send forth
<1032> (5719)

at
<1537>

the same
<846>

place
<3692>

sweet
<1099>

[water] and
<2532>

bitter
<4089>_?

{place: or, hole}

3:12

Can
<3361> <1410> (5736)

the fig tree
<4808>_,

my
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

bear
<4160> (5658)

olive berries
<1636>_?

either
<2228>

a vine
<288>_,

figs
<4810>_?

so
<3779>

[can] no
<3762>

fountain
<4077>

both yield
<4160> (5658)

salt
<252>

water
<5204>

and
<2532>

fresh
<1099>_.

3:13

Who
<5101>

[is] a wise man
<4680>

and
<2532>

endued with knowledge
<1990>

among
<1722>

you
<5213>_?

let him shew
<1166> (5657)

out of
<1537>

a good
<2570>

conversation
<391>

his
<846>

works
<2041>

with
<1722>

meekness
<4240>

of wisdom
<4678>_.

3:14

But
<1161>

if
<1487>

ye have
<2192> (5719)

bitter
<4089>

envying
<2205>

and
<2532>

strife
<2052>

in
<1722>

your
<5216>

hearts
<2588>_,

glory
<2620> (5737)

not
<3361>_,

and
<2532>

lie not
<5574> (5732)

against
<2596>

the truth
<225>_.

3:15

This
<3778>

wisdom
<4678>

descendeth
<2076> (5748) <2718> (5740)

not
<3756>

from above
<509>_,

but
<235>

[is] earthly
<1919>_,

sensual
<5591>_,

devilish
<1141>_.

{sensual: or, natural}

3:16

For
<1063>

where
<3699>

envying
<2205>

and
<2532>

strife
<2052>

[is], there
<1563>

[is] confusion
<181>

and
<2532>

every
<3956>

evil
<5337>

work
<4229>_.

{confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness}

3:17

But
<1161>

the wisdom
<4678>

that is from above
<509>

is
<2076> (5748)

first
<4412>

pure
<3303> <53>_,

then
<1899>

peaceable
<1516>_,

gentle
<1933>_,

[and] easy to be intreated
<2138>_,

full
<3324>

of mercy
<1656>

and
<2532>

good
<18>

fruits
<2590>_,

without partiality
<87>_,

and
<2532>

without hypocrisy
<505>_.

{partiality: or, wrangling}

3:18

And
<1161>

the fruit
<2590>

of righteousness
<1343>

is sown
<4687> (5743)

in
<1722>

peace
<1515>

of them that make
<4160> (5723)

peace
<1515>_.
