1: NotG3361 many [of you]G4183 teachersG1320 let be,G1096 brothersG0080 of mine,G1473 knowingG1492 thatG3754 greaterG3173 judgmentG2917 we will receive.G2983

2: In many waysG4183 forG1063 we stumbleG4417 all.G0537 IfG1487 anyoneG5100 inG1722 what he saysG3056 notG3756 does stumble,G4417 this one [is]G3778 a perfectG5046 man,G0435 ableG1415 to bridleG5468 indeedG2532 allG3650 theG3588 body.G4983

3: IfG1487 now,G1161 of theG3588 horsesG2462 -G3588 bitsG5469 intoG1519 theG3588 mouthsG4750 we putG0906 forG1519 -G3588 to obeyG3982 themG0846 us,G1473 evenG2532 allG3650 theG3588 bodyG4983 of themG0846 we turn about.G3329

4: Behold,G2400 alsoG2532 theG3588 ships,G4143 so greatG5082 beingG1510 andG2532 byG5259 windsG0417 strongG4642 being driven,G1643 are turned aboutG3329 byG5259 a very smallG1646 rudderG4079 whereverG3699 theG3588 impulseG3730 of the [one]G3588 steeringG2116 resolves.G1014

5: ThusG3779 alsoG2532 theG3588 tongueG1100 a smallG3398 memberG3196 is,G1510 andG2532 exceeding thingsG3173 it boasts.G3166 BeholdG2400 a smallG2245 fire,G4442 how greatG2245 a forestG5208 it kindles.G0381

6: AlsoG2532 theG3588 tongue [is]G1100 a fire,G4442 theG3588 worldG2889 -G3588 of iniquity.G0093 TheG3588 tongueG1100 is setG2525 amongG1722 theG3588 membersG3196 of us,G1473 -G3588 defilingG4695 allG3650 theG3588 body,G4983 andG2532 setting on fireG5394 theG3588 courseG5164 -G3588 of nature,G1078 and [itself]G2532 being set on fireG5394 byG5259 -G3588 hell.G1067

7: AllG3956 forG1063 kindsG5449 of beastsG2342 bothG5037 andG2532 of birds,G4071 of creeping thingsG2062 bothG5037 andG2532 things of the sea,G1724 is subduedG1150 andG2532 has been subduedG1150 by theG3588 raceG5449 of theG3588 human,G0442

8: -G3588 butG1161 the tongueG1100 no oneG3762 to subdueG1150 is ableG1410 of men;G0444 [it is] an unrulyG0182 evil,G2556 fullG3324 of poisonG2447 deadly.G2287

9: WithG1722 itG0846 we blessG2127 ourG3588 LordG2962 andG2532 Father,G3962 andG2532 withG1722 itG0846 we curseG2672 -G3588 men,G0444 thoseG3588 according toG2596 [the] likenessG3669 of GodG2316 being made.G1096

10: Out ofG1537 theG3588 sameG0846 mouthG4750 proceed forthG1831 blessingG2129 andG2532 cursing.G2671 NotG3756 ought,G5534 brothersG0080 of Me,G1473 these thingsG3778 soG3779 to be.G1096

11: NotG3385 theG3588 springG4077 outG1537 of theG3588 sameG0846 openingG3692 pours forthG1032 -G3588 [both] freshG1099 andG2532 -G3588 bitter?G4089

12: NotG3361 is able,G1410 brothersG0080 of me,G1473 a fig treeG4808 olivesG1636 to produce?G4160 OrG2228 a vine,G0288 figs?G4810 NorG3777 a salt [spring],G0252 freshG1099 to produceG4160 water.G5204

13: WhoG5101 [is] wiseG4680 andG2532 understandingG1990 amongG1722 you;G4771 let him showG1166 out ofG1537 theG3588 goodG2570 conductG0391 theG3588 worksG2041 of him,G0846 inG1722 [the] humilityG4240 of wisdom.G4678

14: IfG1487 howeverG1161 jealousyG2205 bitterG4089 you have,G2192 andG2532 self-interestG2052 inG1722 theG3588 heartG2588 of you,G4771 notG3361 boast [of it]G2620 andG2532 lieG5574 againstG2596 theG3588 truth.G0225

15: NotG3756 isG1510 thisG3778 theG3588 wisdomG4678 from aboveG0509 coming down,G2718 butG0235 [is] earthly,G1919 unspiritual,G5591 demonic.G1141

16: WhereG3699 forG1063 jealousyG2205 andG2532 self-interest [exist],G2052 there [will be]G1563 disorderG0181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 thing.G4229

17: -G3588 ButG1161 the from aboveG0509 wisdomG4678 firstG4412 indeedG3303 pureG0053 is,G1510 thenG1899 peaceable,G1516 gentle,G1933 reasonable,G2138 fullG3324 of mercyG1656 andG2532 of fruitsG2590 good,G0018 impartial,G0087 sincere.G0505

18: [The] fruitG2590 nowG1161 of righteousnessG1343 inG1722 peaceG1515 is sownG4687 by thoseG3588 makingG4160 peace.G1515
