| 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>. |
