3:1 My 3450 brethren 80, be 1096 5737 not 3361 many 4183 masters 1320, knowing 1492 5761 that 3754 we shall receive 2983 5695 the greater 3187 condemnation 2917.(condemnation: or, judgment)

3:2 For 1063 in many things 4183 we offend 4417 5719 all 537. If any man 1536 offend 4417 5719 not 3756 in 1722 word 3056, the same 3778 [is] a perfect 5046 man 435, [and] able 1415 also 2532 to bridle 5468 5658 the whole 3650 body 4983.

3:3 Behold 2400 5628, we put 906 5719 bits 5469 in 1519 the horses' 2462 mouths 4750, that 4314 they 846 may obey 3982 5745 us 2254; and 2532 we turn about 3329 5719 their 846 whole 3650 body 4983.

3:4 Behold 2400 5628 also 2532 the ships 4143, which though [they be] 5607 5752 so great 5082, and 2532 [are] driven 1643 5746 of 5259 fierce 4642 winds 417, yet are they turned about 3329 5743 with 5259 a very small 1646 helm 4079, whithersoever 3699 302 the governor 2116 5723 listeth 3730 1014 5741.

3:5 Even 2532 so 3779 the tongue 1100 is 2076 5748 a little 3398 member 3196, and 2532 boasteth great things 3166 5719. Behold 2400 5628, how great 2245 a matter 5208 a little 3641 fire 4442 kindleth 381 5719!(a matter: or, wood)

3:6 And 2532 the tongue 1100 [is] a fire 4442, a world 2889 of iniquity 93: so 3779 is 2525 5743 the tongue 1100 among 1722 our 2257 members 3196, that it defileth 4695 5723 the whole 3650 body 4983, and 2532 setteth on fire 5394 5723 the course 5164 of nature 1078; and 2532 it is set on fire 5394 5746 of 5259 hell 1067.(course: Gr. wheel)

3:7 For 1063 every 3956 kind 5449 of beasts 2342, and 5037 2532 of birds 4071, and 5037 of serpents 2062, and 2532 of things in the sea 1724, is tamed 1150 5743, and 2532 hath been tamed 1150 5769 of mankind 5449 442:(kind: Gr. nature)(mankind: Gr. nature of man)

3:8 But 1161 the tongue 1100 can 1410 5736 no 3762 man 444 tame 1150 5658; [it is] an unruly 183 evil 2556, full 3324 of deadly 2287 poison 2447.

3:9 Therewith 1722 846 bless we 2127 5719 God 2316, even 2532 the Father 3962; and 2532 therewith 1722 846 curse we 2672 5736 men 444, which 3588 are made 1096 5756 after 2596 the similitude 3669 of God 2316.

3:10 Out of 1537 the same 846 mouth 4750 proceedeth 1831 5736 blessing 2129 and 2532 cursing 2671. My 3450 brethren 80, these things 5023 ought 5534 5724 not 3756 so 3779 to be 1096 5738.

3:11 Doth 3385 a fountain 4077 send forth 1032 5719 at 1537 the same 846 place 3692 sweet 1099 [water] and 2532 bitter 4089?(place: or, hole)

3:12 Can 3361 1410 5736 the fig tree 4808, my 3450 brethren 80, bear 4160 5658 olive berries 1636? either 2228 a vine 288, figs 4810? so 3779 [can] no 3762 fountain 4077 both yield 4160 5658 salt 252 water 5204 and 2532 fresh 1099.

3:13 Who 5101 [is] a wise man 4680 and 2532 endued with knowledge 1990 among 1722 you 5213? let him shew 1166 5657 out of 1537 a good 2570 conversation 391 his 846 works 2041 with 1722 meekness 4240 of wisdom 4678.

3:14 But 1161 if 1487 ye have 2192 5719 bitter 4089 envying 2205 and 2532 strife 2052 in 1722 your 5216 hearts 2588, glory 2620 5737 not 3361, and 2532 lie not 5574 5732 against 2596 the truth 225.

3:15 This 3778 wisdom 4678 descendeth 2076 5748 2718 5740 not 3756 from above 509, but 235 [is] earthly 1919, sensual 5591, devilish 1141.(sensual: or, natural)

3:16 For 1063 where 3699 envying 2205 and 2532 strife 2052 [is], there 1563 [is] confusion 181 and 2532 every 3956 evil 5337 work 4229.(confusion: Gr. tumult or unquietness)

3:17 But 1161 the wisdom 4678 that is from above 509 is 2076 5748 first 4412 pure 3303 53, then 1899 peaceable 1516, gentle 1933, [and] easy to be intreated 2138, full 3324 of mercy 1656 and 2532 good 18 fruits 2590, without partiality 87, and 2532 without hypocrisy 505.(partiality: or, wrangling)

3:18 And 1161 the fruit 2590 of righteousness 1343 is sown 4687 5743 in 1722 peace 1515 of them that make 4160 5723 peace 1515.
