Book 59 : JAMES - Chapter 003

003:001

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

003:002

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

003:003

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

003:004

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

003:005

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

003:006

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

003:007

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison

003:008

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

003:009

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

003:010

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter

003:011

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

003:012

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom

003:013

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

003:014

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish

003:015

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work

003:016

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy

003:017

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