James 3 : 1 (AKJV)

My brothers, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

James 3 : 2 (AKJV)

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

James 3 : 3 (AKJV)

Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

James 3 : 4 (AKJV)

Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, wherever the governor wants.

James 3 : 5 (AKJV)

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!

James 3 : 6 (AKJV)

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

James 3 : 7 (AKJV)

For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:

James 3 : 8 (AKJV)

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

James 3 : 9 (AKJV)

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

James 3 : 10 (AKJV)

Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not so to be.

James 3 : 11 (AKJV)

Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

James 3 : 12 (AKJV)

Can the fig tree, my brothers, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

James 3 : 13 (AKJV)

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

James 3 : 14 (AKJV)

But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

James 3 : 15 (AKJV)

This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

James 3 : 16 (AKJV)

For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3 : 17 (AKJV)

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

James 3 : 18 (AKJV)

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
