| James 3:1 | Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others. | My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. | Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment. |
| James 3:2 | For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control. | For in many things we all offend. If any man offendeth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. | For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too. |
| James 3:3 | Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies. | Behold, we put bits in the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. | Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies. |
| James 3:4 | And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it. | Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor willeth. | Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will. |
| James 3:5 | Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire! | Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! | Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles! |
| James 3:6 | And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell. | And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. | and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell. |
| James 3:7 | For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority; | For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: | For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species; |
| James 3:8 | But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death. | But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. | but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison. |
| James 3:9 | With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image. | With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God. | Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God. |
| James 3:10 | Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so. | Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. | Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus. |
| James 3:11 | Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water? | Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? | Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter? |
| James 3:12 | Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea? | Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh. | Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water. |
| James 3:13 | Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom. | Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good deportment his works with meekness of wisdom. | Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom; |
| James 3:14 | But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true. | But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. | but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. |
| James 3:15 | This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One. | This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demoniacal. | This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish. |
| James 3:16 | For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing. | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. | For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing. |
| James 3:17 | But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is. | 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. | But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned. |
| James 3:18 | And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace. | And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace. | But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace. |
