\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.
