James 3:1-12

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}
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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}
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>_.
