James 3:1-6

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}
