| James 3:1 | Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others. | Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment. | Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the 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 stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. | For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. |
| 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. | Indeed, we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. | For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. |
| 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, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires. | Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth. |
| 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! | So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! | Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. |
| 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. 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, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by 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 animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind. | For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man: |
| 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 nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. | But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly 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 it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God. | By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are 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 comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. | Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
| James 3:11 | Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water? | Does a spring send forth from the same opening fresh and bitter water? | Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water? |
| 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 a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. | Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet. |
| 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 wise and understanding among you? Let him show his deeds done in gentleness of wisdom by his good life. | Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the 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 you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. | But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars 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 is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. | For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, 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 jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed. | For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work. |
| 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 peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. | But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. |
| James 3:18 | And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace. | Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. | And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. |
