1. Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,
|
1. My G3450 brethren G80 , be G1096 not G3361 many G4183 masters G1320 , knowing G1492 that G3754 we shall receive G2983 the greater G3187 condemnation G2917 .
|
|
2. for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;
|
2. For G1063 in many things G4183 we offend G4417 all G537 . If any man G1536 offend G4417 not G3756 in G1722 word G3056 , the same G3778 is a perfect G5046 man G435 , and able G1415 also G2532 to bridle G5468 the G3588 whole G3650 body G4983 .
|
|
3. lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;
|
3. Behold G2400 , we put G906 bits G5469 in G1519 the G3588 horses G2462 ' mouths G4750 , that they G846 may obey G3982 us G2254 ; and G2532 we turn about G3329 their G846 whole G3650 body G4983 .
|
|
4. lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,
|
4. Behold G2400 also G2532 the G3588 ships G4143 , which though they be G5607 so great G5082 , and G2532 are driven G1643 of G5259 fierce G4642 winds G417 , yet are they turned about G3329 with G5259 a very small G1646 helm G4079 , whithersoever G3699 G302 the G3588 governor G3730 G2116 listeth G1014 .
|
|
5. so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
|
5. Even G2532 so G3779 the G3588 tongue G1100 is G2076 a little G3398 member G3196 , and G2532 boasteth great things G3166 . Behold G2400 , how great G2245 a matter G5208 a little G3641 fire G4442 kindleth G381 !
|
|
6. and the tongue is a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.
|
6. And G2532 the G3588 tongue G1100 is a fire G4442 , a world G2889 of iniquity G93 ; so G3779 is G2525 the G3588 tongue G1100 among G1722 our G2257 members G3196 , that it defileth G4695 the G3588 whole G3650 body G4983 , and G2532 setteth on fire G5394 the G3588 course G5164 of nature G1078 ; and G2532 it is set on fire G5394 of G5259 hell G1067 .
|
|
7. For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,
|
7. For G1063 every G3956 kind G5449 of beasts G2342 , and G2532 of birds G4071 , and G5037 of serpents G2062 , and G2532 of things in the sea G1724 , is tamed G1150 , and G2532 hath been tamed G1150 of mankind G442 G5449 :
|
|
8. and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,
|
8. But G1161 the G3588 tongue G1100 can G1410 no G3762 man G444 tame G1150 ; it is an unruly G183 evil G2556 , full G3324 of deadly G2287 poison G2447 .
|
|
9. with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God;
|
9. Therewith G1722 G846 bless G2127 we God G2316 , even G2532 the Father G3962 ; and G2532 therewith G1722 G846 curse G2672 we men G444 , which are made G1096 after G2596 the similitude G3669 of God G2316 .
|
|
10. out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;
|
10. Out G1537 of the G3588 same G846 mouth G4750 proceedeth G1831 blessing G2129 and G2532 cursing G2671 . My G3450 brethren G80 , these things G5023 ought G5534 not G3756 so G3779 to be G1096 .
|
|
11. doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
|
11. Doth G3385 a fountain G4077 send forth G1032 at G1537 the G3588 same G846 place G3692 sweet G1099 water and G2532 bitter G4089 ?
|
|
12. is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water is able to make.
|
12. G3361 Can G1410 the fig tree G4808 , my G3450 brethren G80 , bear G4160 olive berries G1636 ? either G2228 a vine G288 , figs G4810 ? so G3779 can no G3762 fountain G4077 both yield G4160 salt G252 water G5204 and G2532 fresh G1099 .
|
|
13. Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
|
13. Who G5101 is a wise man G4680 and G2532 endued with knowledge G1990 among G1722 you G5213 ? let him show G1166 out of G1537 a good G2570 conversation G391 his G848 works G2041 with G1722 meekness G4240 of wisdom G4678 .
|
|
14. and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
|
14. But G1161 if G1487 ye have G2192 bitter G4089 envying G2205 and G2532 strife G2052 in G1722 your G5216 hearts G2588 , glory G2620 not G3361 , and G2532 lie G5574 not against G2596 the G3588 truth G225 .
|
|
15. this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
|
15. This G3778 wisdom G4678 descendeth G2718 not G3756 from above G509 , but G235 is earthly G1919 , sensual G5591 , devilish G1141 .
|
|
16. for where zeal and rivalry are, there is insurrection and every evil matter;
|
16. For G1063 where G3699 envying G2205 and G2532 strife G2052 is, there G1563 is confusion G181 and G2532 every G3956 evil G5337 work G4229 .
|
|
17. and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --
|
17. But G1161 the G3588 wisdom G4678 that is from above G509 is G2076 first G4412 G3303 pure G53 , then G1899 peaceable G1516 , gentle G1933 , and easy to be entreated G2138 , full G3324 of mercy G1656 and G2532 good G18 fruits G2590 , without partiality G87 , and G2532 without hypocrisy G505 .
|
|
18. and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
|
18. And G1161 the fruit G2590 of righteousness G1343 is sown G4687 in G1722 peace G1515 of them G3588 that make G4160 peace G1515 .
