emtv@James:3:1 @ My brothers, let not many become teachers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.

emtv@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many [ways]. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body.

emtv@James:3:3 @ Consider that we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

emtv@James:3:4 @ Consider also the ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the pilot desires.

emtv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a small member and it boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

emtv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, as that which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

emtv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of both beasts and birds, of both reptiles and sea creatures, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

emtv@James:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. [It] is an unrestrainable evil, full of deadly poison.

emtv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are created according to [the] likeness of God.

emtv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth come blessings and curses. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

emtv@James:3:11 @ The spring does not pour forth from the same opening [both ]the sweet and the bitter [water, does it]?

emtv@James:3:12 @ It is not possible, my brothers, [for] a fig tree to make olives, or a vine [to make ]figs, [is it]? Thus no spring is able to produce [both] salt and sweet water.

emtv@James:3:13 @ Is there anyone wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct [that] his works [are] in meekness of wisdom.

emtv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.

emtv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

emtv@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and strife [exist], there unrest and every evil deed [are].

emtv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

emtv@James:3:18 @ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those making peace.
