| James 3:6 | 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. | And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. | and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna. |
| James 3:7 | For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. | For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind. | For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature, |
| James 3:8 | But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. | But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. | and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison, |

My brothers, these things ought not to be so. | out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen; |
| James 3:11 | Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter? | Does a spring send forth from the same opening fresh and bitter water? | doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter? |
| James 3:12 | Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt water yield sweet. | Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs?

| James 3:13 | Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. | Who is wise and understanding among you?

| James 3:14 | But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. | But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. | and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth; |
| James 3:15 | This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. | This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. | this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like, |

| James 3:18 | And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace. | Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. | and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace. |
