Dual Panel1My <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}
2For <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>_.
3Behold <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>_.
4Behold <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)_.
5Even <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}
6And <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}
7For <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}
8But <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>_.
9Therewith <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>_.
10Out 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)_.
11Doth <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}
12Can <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>_.
13Who <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>_.
14But <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>_.
15This <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}
16For <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}
17But <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}
18And <1161> the fruit <2590> of righteousness <1343> is sown <4687> (5743) in <1722> peace <1515> of them that make <4160> (5723) peace <1515>_.
