James 3

Verses of James 3 of the ASV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Be not many `of you' teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
2 - For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 - Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.
4 - Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.
5 - So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
6 - And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
7 - For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.
8 - But the tongue can no man tame; `it is' a restless evil, `it is' full of deadly poison.
9 - Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:
10 - out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 - Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet `water' and bitter?
12 - Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither `can' salt water yield sweet.
13 - Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.
14 - But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.
15 - This wisdom is not `a wisdom' that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 - For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
17 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.
18 - And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
