Iames 3

1 We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove others: 5 but rather to bridle the tongue, a little member, but a powerful instrument of much good, and great harm. 13 They who be truly wise be mild, and peaceable, without envying, and strife.

 3:1 ¶ My 3450 brethren, 80 bee 1096 z5737 not 3361 many 4183 masters, 1320 knowing 1492 z5761 that 3754 we shall receiue 2983 z5695 the greater 3187 condemnation. 2917

 3:2 For 1063 in many things 4183 we offend 4417 z5719 all. 537 If any man 1536 offend 4417 z5719 not 3756 in 1722 word, 3056 the same 3778 is a perfect 5046 man, 435 and able 1415 also 2532 to bridle 5468 z5658 the x3588 whole 3650 body. 4983

 3:3 Behold, 2400 z5628 we put 906 z5719 bittes 5469 in 1519 the x3588 horses 2462 mouthes, 4750 that y4314 they 846 may obey 3982 z5745 vs, 2254 and 2532 we turne about 3329 z5719 their 846 whole 3650 body. 4983

 3:4 Behold 2400 z5628 also 2532 the x3588 ships, 4143 which though they be 5607 z5752 so great, 5082 and 2532 are driuen 1643 z5746 of 5259 fierce 4642 windes, 417 yet are they turned about 3329 z5743 with 5259 a very small 1646 helme, 4079 whithersoeuer 3699 302 the x3588 gouernour 2116 z5723 x3730 listeth. 1014 y3730 z5741

 3:5 Euen 2532 so 3779 the x3588 tongue 1100 is 2076 z5748 a little 3398 member, 3196 and 2532 boasteth great things: 3166 z5719 behold, 2400 z5628 how great 2245 a matter 5208 a litle 3641 fire 4442 kindleth. 381 z5719

 3:6 And 2532 the x3588 tongue 1100 is a fire, 4442 a world 2889 of iniquitie: 93 so 3779 is 2525 z5743 the x3588 tongue 1100 amongst 1722 our 2257 members, 3196 that it defileth y4695 z5723 x4696 the x3588 whole 3650 body, 4983 and 2532 setteth on fire 5394 z5723 the x3588 course 5164 of nature, 1078 and 2532 it is set on fire 5394 z5746 of 5259 hell. 1067

 3:7 For 1063 euery 3956 kind 5449 of beasts, 2342 and 2532 y5037 of birds, 4071 and 5037 of serpents, 2062 and 2532 things in the sea, 1724 is tamed, 1150 z5743 and 2532 hath been tamed 1150 z5769 of mankind. 5449 442

 3:8 But 1161 the x3588 tongue 1100 can 1410 z5736 no 3762 man 444 tame, 1150 z5658 [it is] an vnruly 183 euill, 2556 ful 3324 of deadly 2287 poyson. 2447

 3:9 Therewith 1722 846 blesse x2127 wee y2127 z5719 God, 2316 euen 2532 the Father: 3962 and 2532 therewith 1722 846 curse x2672 wee y2672 z5736 men, 444 which y3588 are made 1096 z5756 after 2596 the similitude 3669 of God. 2316

 3:10 Out x1537 of y1537 the x3588 same 846 mouth 4750 proceedeth 1831 z5736 blessing 2129 and 2532 cursing: 2671 my 3450 brethren, 80 these things 5023 ought y5534 z5724 x5334 not 3756 so 3779 to be. 1096 z5738

 3:11 Doeth 3385 a fountaine 4077 send foorth 1032 z5719 at 1537 the x3588 same 846 place 3692 sweet 1099 water and 2532 bitter? 4089

 3:12 x3361 Can 1410 y3361 z5736 ye figtree, 4808 my 3450 brethren, 80 beare 4160 z5658 oliue berries? 1636 either 2228 a vine, 288 figs? 4810 so 3779 [can] no 3762 fountaine 4077 both yeeld 4160 z5658 salt 252 water 5204 & 2532 fresh. 1099

 3:13 Who 5101 is a wise man 4680 and 2532 indued with knowledge 1990 amongst 1722 you? 5213 let him shew 1166 z5657 out of 1537 a good 2570 conuersation 391 his y846 x848 workes 2041 with 1722 meekenes 4240 of wisedome. 4678

 3:14 But 1161 if 1487 ye haue 2192 z5719 bitter 4089 enuying 2205 and 2532 strife 2052 in 1722 your 5216 hearts 2588 glory 2620 z5737 not, 3361 and 2532 lie x5574 not y5574 z5732 against 2596 the x3588 trueth. 225

 3:15 This 3778 wisedome 4678 descendeth 2718 y2076 z5748 z5740 not 3756 from aboue, 509 but 235 [is] earthly, 1919 sensuall, 5591 deuilish. 1141

 3:16 For 1063 where 3699 enuying 2205 and 2532 strife 2052 is, there 1563 is confusion, 181 and 2532 euery 3956 euill 5337 worke. 4229

 3:17 But 1161 the x3588 wisedome 4678 that is from aboue, 509 is 2076 z5748 first 4412 x3303 pure, 53 y3303 then 1899 peaceable, 1516 gentle, 1933 and easie to be intreated, 2138 full 3324 of mercy, 1656 and 2532 good 18 fruits, 2590 without partialitie, 87 and 2532 without hypocrisie. 505

 3:18 And 1161 the fruit 2590 of righteousnesse 1343 is sowen 4687 z5743 in 1722 peace, 1515 of them x3588 that make 4160 z5723 peace. 1515
