\subsection{James 3}
\VS{1} Let not many become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive [a] 
greater judgment. 
\VS{2} For we all stumble [in] many [things]. If anyone does not 
stumble in word, this is [a] complete\footnote{or ``perfect''} man, able to 
bridle even the whole body. 
\VS{3} And if we put bridles into the mouths of 
horses so that they are obeying us, even the[ir] whole body we direct. 
\VS{4} 
And behold the ship, being so great and by violent winds being driven, it is 
directed by the exceedingly small rudder where the impulse of the [one] directing 
wishes. 
\VS{5} Likewise also the tongue is [a] small member and boasts great 
[things], behold how small [a] fire kindles so great [a] forest. 
\VS{6} The tongue is appointed in our members [as] the [one] staining the whole body and being set on fire by Gehenna\fnGehenna{}.
\VS{7} For all nature of wild-beasts, and also of flying 
[things], creeping [things], and also [things] of the sea, are tamed and have been tamed by human 
nature, 
\VS{8} but the tongue no one of men is able to tame. [It is an] unstable evil, 
full of deadly poison. 
\VS{9} With it we bless the Lord and father, and with 
it we curse men having been made according to the image of God. 
\VS{10} Out 
of the same mouth comes praise and curse. It is not fitting, my brothers, 
[that] these [things] be. 
\VS{11} Does [a] spring out of the same hole gush forth the sweet 
and the bitter?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer expected or 
expresses uncertainty} 
\VS{12} Is [a] fig tree able, my brothers, to produce 
olives or [a] vine figs?\footnote{grammer indicates ``no'' answer expected or 
expresses uncertainty} Neither [is] salt water [able] to produce sweet. 
\VS{13} 
Whoever [is] wise and knowing among you, let\fnImperative{} him show by 
his good conduct his works in gentleness of wisdom. 
\VS{14} But if you have 
bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your heart, be not boasting and lying 
against the truth. 
\VS{15} This is not the wisdom coming down from above, 
but [is] earthly, psyche-life-ish\fnPsyche{}, demoniac. 
\VS{16} For where [there is] jealousy and 
self-seeking, here [is] instability and all worthless [things]. 
\VS{17} But the wisdom 
from above is first pure indeed, then peaceable, fair, ready to obey, full 
of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty, unhypocritcal. 
\VS{18} But 
[the] fruit of justice in peace is sown by those doing peace.
