gltv@James:3:1 @ My brothers do not be many teachers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment.

gltv@James:3:2 @ For we all stumble in many ways. If any one does not stumble in word, this one is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body.

gltv@James:3:3 @ Behold, we put bits in the mouths of the horses, for them to obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

gltv@James:3:4 @ Behold, the ships also, being so great, and being driven by violent winds, they are directed by a very small rudder, where the impulse of the one steering purposes.

gltv@James:3:5 @ So also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how little a fire kindles how large a forest!

gltv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body, and inflaming the course of nature, and having been inflamed by Hell.

gltv@James:3:7 @ For every species of beasts, both indeed of birds, of creeping things, and of sea animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species;

gltv@James:3:8 @ but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; it is an evil that cannot be restrained, full of death-dealing poison.

gltv@James:3:9 @ By this we bless God and the Father; and by this we curse men having come into being according to the image of God. Genesis. strkjv@1:26

gltv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers it is not fitting for these things to be so.

gltv@James:3:11 @ Does the fountain out of the same hole send forth the sweet and the bitter?

gltv@James:3:12 @ My brothers, a fig tree is not able to produce olives, or a vine figs. So neither can a fountain produce both salt and sweet water.

gltv@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom.

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

gltv@James:3:15 @ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, beastly, devilish.

gltv@James:3:16 @ For where jealousy and contention are, there is confusion and every foul deed.

gltv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom from above is firstly truly pure, then peaceable, forbearing, yielding, full of mercy and of good fruits, not partial and not pretended.

gltv@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for the ones making peace.
