rwbs - James:3

rwbs@James:3:1 @ My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment. (note:)condemnation: or, judgment(:note)

rwbs@James:3:2 @ For in many things we all offend. If any man stumble not in word, the same a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

rwbs@James:3:3 @ Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

rwbs@James:3:4 @ Behold also the ships, which though so great, and driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, wherever the pilot willeth.

rwbs@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! (note:)a matter: or, wood(:note)

rwbs@James:3:6 @ And the tongue 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 from hell. (note:)course: Gr. wheel(:note)

rwbs@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of creatures in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: (note:)kind: Gr. nature(:note)mankind: Gr. nature of man

rwbs@James:3:8 @ But the tongue can no man tame; an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

rwbs@James:3:9 @ With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God.

rwbs@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

rwbs@James:3:11 @ Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet and bitter? (note:)place: or, hole(:note)

rwbs@James:3:12 @ Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain yield both salt water and fresh.

rwbs@James:3:13 @ Who a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good behaviour his works with meekness of wisdom.

rwbs@James:3:14 @ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

rwbs@James:3:15 @ This wisdom descendeth not from above, but earthly, sensual, demonic. (note:)sensual: or, natural(:note)

rwbs@James:3:16 @ For where envying and strife, there confusion and every evil work. (note:)confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness(:note)

rwbs@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (note:)partiality: or, wrangling(:note)

rwbs@James:3:18 @ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.
