My³⁴⁵⁰ brethren⁸⁰, be¹⁰⁹⁶ not³³⁶¹ many⁴¹⁸³ masters¹³²⁰, knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ we shall receive²⁹⁸³ the greater³¹⁸⁷ condemnation²⁹¹⁷.

For¹⁰⁶³ in many things⁴¹⁸³ we offend⁴⁴¹⁷ all⁵³⁷. If any man¹⁵³⁶ offend⁴⁴¹⁷ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² word³⁰⁵⁶, the same³⁷⁷⁸ is a perfect⁵⁰⁴⁶ man⁴³⁵, and able¹⁴¹⁵ also²⁵³² to bridle⁵⁴⁶⁸ the whole³⁶⁵⁰ body⁴⁹⁸³.

Behold²⁴⁰⁰, we put⁹⁰⁶ bits⁵⁴⁶⁹ in¹⁵¹⁹ the horses'²⁴⁶² mouths⁴⁷⁵⁰, that⁴³¹⁴ they⁸⁴⁶ may obey³⁹⁸² us²²⁵⁴; and²⁵³² we turn about³³²⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ whole³⁶⁵⁰ body⁴⁹⁸³.

Behold²⁴⁰⁰ also²⁵³² the ships⁴¹⁴³, which though they be⁵⁶⁰⁷ so great⁵⁰⁸², and²⁵³² are driven¹⁶⁴³ of⁵²⁵⁹ fierce⁴⁶⁴² winds⁴¹⁷, yet are they turned about³³²⁹ with⁵²⁵⁹ a very small¹⁶⁴⁶ helm⁴⁰⁷⁹, whithersoever³⁶⁹⁹ the governor²¹¹⁶ listeth³⁷³⁰.

Even²⁵³² so³⁷⁷⁹ the tongue¹¹⁰⁰ is²⁰⁷⁶ a little³³⁹⁸ member³¹⁹⁶, and²⁵³² boasteth great things³¹⁶⁶. Behold²⁴⁰⁰, how great²²⁴⁵ a matter⁵²⁰⁸ a little³⁶⁴¹ fire⁴⁴⁴² kindleth³⁸¹!

And²⁵³² the tongue¹¹⁰⁰ is a fire⁴⁴⁴², a world²⁸⁸⁹ of iniquity⁹³: so³⁷⁷⁹ is²⁵²⁵ the tongue¹¹⁰⁰ among¹⁷²² our²²⁵⁷ members³¹⁹⁶, that it defileth⁴⁶⁹⁵ the whole³⁶⁵⁰ body⁴⁹⁸³, and²⁵³² setteth on fire⁵³⁹⁴ the course⁵¹⁶⁴ of nature¹⁰⁷⁸; and²⁵³² it is set on fire⁵³⁹⁴ of⁵²⁵⁹ Gehenna¹⁰⁶⁷.

For¹⁰⁶³ every³⁹⁵⁶ kind⁵⁴⁴⁹ of beasts²³⁴², and⁵⁰³⁷ of birds⁴⁰⁷¹, and⁵⁰³⁷ of serpents²⁰⁶², and²⁵³² of things in the sea¹⁷²⁴, is tamed¹¹⁵⁰, and²⁵³² hath been tamed¹¹⁵⁰ of mankind⁵⁴⁴⁹:

But¹¹⁶¹ the tongue¹¹⁰⁰ can¹⁴¹⁰ no³⁷⁶² man⁴⁴⁴ tame¹¹⁵⁰: it is an unruly¹⁸³ evil²⁵⁵⁶, full³³²⁴ of deadly²²⁸⁷ poison²⁴⁴⁷.

Therewith¹⁷²² bless we²¹²⁷ Elohim²³¹⁶, even²⁵³² the Father³⁹⁶²; and²⁵³² therewith¹⁷²² curse we²⁶⁷² men⁴⁴⁴, which³⁵⁸⁸ are made¹⁰⁹⁶ after²⁵⁹⁶ the similitude³⁶⁶⁹ of Elohim²³¹⁶.

Out of¹⁵³⁷ the same⁸⁴⁶ mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ proceedeth¹⁸³¹ blessing²¹²⁹ and²⁵³² cursing²⁶⁷¹. My³⁴⁵⁰ brethren⁸⁰, these things⁵⁰²³ ought⁵⁵³⁴ not³⁷⁵⁶ so³⁷⁷⁹ to be¹⁰⁹⁶.

Doth³³⁸⁵ a fountain⁴⁰⁷⁷ send forth¹⁰³² at¹⁵³⁷ the same⁸⁴⁶ place³⁶⁹² sweet¹⁰⁹⁹ water and²⁵³² bitter⁴⁰⁸⁹?

Can³³⁶¹ the fig tree⁴⁸⁰⁸, my³⁴⁵⁰ brethren⁸⁰, bear⁴¹⁶⁰ olive berries¹⁶³⁶? either²²²⁸ a vine²⁸⁸, figs⁴⁸¹⁰? so³⁷⁷⁹ can no³⁷⁶² fountain⁴⁰⁷⁷ both yield⁴¹⁶⁰ salt²⁵² water⁵²⁰⁴ and²⁵³² fresh¹⁰⁹⁹.

Who⁵¹⁰¹ is a wise man⁴⁶⁸⁰ and²⁵³² endued with knowledge¹⁹⁹⁰ among¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³? let him shew¹¹⁶⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ a good²⁵⁷⁰ conversation³⁹¹ his⁸⁴⁶ works²⁰⁴¹ with¹⁷²² meekness⁴²⁴⁰ of wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸.

But¹¹⁶¹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye have²¹⁹² bitter⁴⁰⁸⁹ envying²²⁰⁵ and²⁵³² strife²⁰⁵² in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts²⁵⁸⁸, glory²⁶²⁰ not³³⁶¹, and²⁵³² lie not⁵⁵⁷⁴ against²⁵⁹⁶ the truth²²⁵.

This³⁷⁷⁸ wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ descendeth²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ from above⁵⁰⁹, but²³⁵ is earthly¹⁹¹⁹, sensual⁵⁵⁹¹, devilish¹¹⁴¹.

For¹⁰⁶³ where³⁶⁹⁹ envying²²⁰⁵ and²⁵³² strife²⁰⁵² is, there¹⁵⁶³ is confusion¹⁸¹ and²⁵³² every³⁹⁵⁶ evil⁵³³⁷ work⁴²²⁹.

But¹¹⁶¹ the wisdom⁴⁶⁷⁸ that is from above⁵⁰⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ first⁴⁴¹² pure³³⁰³, then¹⁸⁹⁹ peaceable¹⁵¹⁶, gentle¹⁹³³, and easy to be intreated²¹³⁸, full³³²⁴ of mercy¹⁶⁵⁶ and²⁵³² good¹⁸ fruits²⁵⁹⁰, without partiality⁸⁷, and²⁵³² without hypocrisy⁵⁰⁵.

And¹¹⁶¹ the fruit²⁵⁹⁰ of righteousness¹³⁴³ is sown⁴⁶⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² peace¹⁵¹⁵ of them that make⁴¹⁶⁰ peace¹⁵¹⁵.
