1 My G3450 P-1GS brethren G80 N-VPM , be G1096 V-PNM-2P not G3361 PRT-N many G4183 A-NPM masters G1320 N-NPM , knowing G1492 V-RAP-NPM that G3754 CONJ we shall receive G2983 V-FDI-1P the greater G3187 condemnation G2917 N-ASN .
2 For G1063 CONJ in many things G4183 A-APN we offend G4417 V-PAI-1P all G537 A-NPM . If any man G1536 offend G4417 V-PAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N in G1722 PREP word G3056 N-DSM , the same G3778 D-NSM is a perfect G5046 A-NSM man G435 N-NSM , and able G1415 A-NSM also G2532 CONJ to bridle G5468 V-AAN the G3588 T-ASN whole G3650 A-ASN body G4983 N-ASN .
3 Behold G2400 , we G3588 T-APM put G906 V-PAI-1P bits G5469 N-APM in G1519 PREP the G3588 T-GPM horses G2462 N-GPM \' mouths G4750 N-APN , that G3588 T-ASN they G3588 T-ASN may obey G3982 V-PPN us G2254 P-1DP ; and G2532 CONJ we turn about G3329 V-PAI-1P their G846 P-GPM whole G3650 A-ASN body G4983 N-ASN .
4 Behold G2400 V-2AAM-2S also G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NPN ships G4143 N-NPN , which though they be V-PXP-NPN so G5607 V-PXP-NPN great G5082 D-NPN , and G2532 CONJ are driven G1643 V-PPP-NPN of G5259 PREP fierce G4642 A-GPM winds G417 N-GPM , yet are they turned about G3329 V-PPI-3S with G5259 PREP a very small G1646 A-GSN helm G4079 N-GSN , whithersoever G3699 ADV the G3588 T-GSM governor G2116 V-PAP-GSM listeth G1014 V-PNS-3S .
5 Even G2532 CONJ so G3779 ADV the G3588 T-NSF tongue G1100 N-NSF is G2076 V-PXI-3S a little G3398 A-NSN member G3196 N-NSN , and G2532 CONJ boasteth great things G3166 V-PAI-3S . Behold G2400 V-2AAM-2S , how great G2245 A-ASF a matter G5208 N-ASF a little G3641 A-NSN fire G4442 N-NSN kindleth G381 V-PAI-3S !
6 And G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF tongue G1100 N-NSF is a fire G4442 N-NSN , a world G2889 N-NSM of iniquity G93 N-GSF ; so G3779 ADV is G2525 V-PPI-3S the G3588 T-NSF tongue G1100 N-NSF among G1722 PREP our G3588 T-DPN members G3196 N-DPN , that it defileth G4695 V-PAP-NSF the G3588 T-GSF whole G3650 A-ASN body G4983 N-ASN , and G2532 CONJ setteth on fire G5394 V-PAP-NSF the G3588 T-ASM course G5164 N-ASM of nature G1078 N-GSF ; and G2532 CONJ it is set on fire G5394 V-PPP-NSF of G3588 T-GSF hell G1067 N-GSF .
7 For G1063 CONJ every G3956 A-NSF kind G5449 N-NSF of beasts G2342 N-GPN , and G2532 CONJ of birds G4071 N-GPN , and G5037 PRT of serpents G2062 N-GPN , and G2532 CONJ of things in the sea G1724 A-GPN , is tamed G1150 V-PPI-3S , and G2532 CONJ hath been tamed G1150 V-RPI-3S of mankind G442 A-DSF :
8 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-ASF tongue G1100 N-ASF can G1410 V-PNI-3S no G3762 A-NSM man G444 N-GPM tame G1150 V-AAN ; it is an unruly G183 A-NSN evil G2556 A-NSN , full G3324 A-NSF of deadly G2287 A-GSM poison G2447 N-GSM .
9 Therewith G1722 PREP bless G2127 V-PAI-1P we God G2316 N-ASM , even G2532 CONJ the Father G3962 N-ASM ; and G2532 CONJ therewith G1722 PREP curse G2672 V-PNI-1P we men G444 N-APM , which G3588 T-APM are made G1096 V-2RAP-APM after G2596 PREP the similitude G3669 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM .
10 Out G1537 PREP of G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN same G846 P-GSN mouth G4750 N-GSN proceedeth G1831 V-PNI-3S blessing G2129 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ cursing G2671 N-NSF . My G3450 P-1GS brethren G80 N-VPM , these things G5023 D-NPN ought G5534 V-PQI-3S not G3756 PRT-N so G3779 ADV to be G1096 V-PNN .
11 Doth G3385 PRT-I a fountain G4077 N-NSF send forth G1032 V-PAI-3S at G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSF same G846 P-GSF place G3692 N-GSF sweet G1099 A-ASN water and G2532 CONJ bitter G4089 A-ASN ?
12 Can G1410 V-PNI-3S the fig tree G4808 N-NSF , my G3450 P-1GS brethren G80 N-VPM , bear G4160 V-AAN olive berries G1636 N-APF ? either G2228 PRT a vine G288 N-NSF , figs G4810 N-APN ? so G3779 ADV can no G3762 A-NSF fountain G4077 N-NSF both yield G4160 V-AAN salt G252 A-ASN water G5204 N-ASN and G2532 CONJ fresh G1099 A-ASN .
13 Who G5101 I-NSM is a wise man G4680 A-NSM and G2532 CONJ endued with knowledge G1990 A-NSM among G1722 PREP you G5213 P-2DP ? let him show G1166 V-AAM-3S out of G3588 T-GSF a good G2570 A-GSF conversation G391 N-GSF his G3588 T-APN works G2041 N-APN with G1722 PREP meekness G4240 N-DSF of wisdom G4678 N-GSF .
14 But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND ye have G2192 V-PAI-2P bitter G4089 A-ASM envying G2205 N-ASM and G2532 CONJ strife G2052 N-ASF in G1722 PREP your G3588 T-DSF hearts G2588 N-DSF , glory G2620 V-PNM-2P not G3361 PRT-N , and G2532 CONJ lie G5574 V-PMM-2P not against G2596 PREP the G3588 T-GSF truth G225 N-GSF .
15 This G3588 T-NSF wisdom G4678 N-NSF descendeth G2718 V-PNP-NSF not G3756 PRT-N from above G509 ADV , but G235 CONJ is earthly G1919 A-NSF , sensual G5591 A-NSF , devilish G1141 A-NSF .
16 For G1063 CONJ where G3699 ADV envying G2205 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ strife G2052 N-NSF is , there G1563 ADV is confusion G181 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ every G3956 A-NSN evil G5337 A-NSN work G4229 N-NSN .
17 But G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF wisdom G4678 N-NSF that is from above G509 ADV is G2076 V-PXI-3S first G4412 ADV pure G53 A-NSF , then G1899 ADV peaceable G1516 A-NSF , gentle G1933 A-NSF , and easy to be entreated G2138 A-NSM , full G3324 A-NSF of mercy G1656 N-GSN and G2532 CONJ good G18 A-GPM fruits G2590 N-GPM , without partiality G87 A-NSF , and G2532 CONJ without hypocrisy G505 A-NSF .
18 And G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-GSF fruit G2590 N-NSM of righteousness G1343 N-GSF is sown G4687 V-PPI-3S in G1722 PREP peace G1515 N-DSF of G3588 T-DPM them G3588 T-DPM that make G4160 V-PAP-DPM peace G1515 N-ASF .
