59_JAM_03_01 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

59_JAM_03_02 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.

59_JAM_03_03 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

59_JAM_03_04 Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

59_JAM_03_05 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

59_JAM_03_06 And the tongue [is] 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 of hell.

59_JAM_03_07 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

59_JAM_03_08 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

59_JAM_03_09 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

59_JAM_03_10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

59_JAM_03_11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?

59_JAM_03_12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

59_JAM_03_13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

59_JAM_03_14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

59_JAM_03_15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.

59_JAM_03_16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.

59_JAM_03_17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

59_JAM_03_18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
