| James 3:1 | Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement. | Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive, | Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment. |
| James 3:2 | For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature. | for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle also 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 | Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round. | lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about; | 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 | So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at the helm chooses. | lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel, | 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 | In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames. | so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle! | 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. That world of iniquity, the tongue, is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself 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. | 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 brute nature under all its forms beasts and birds, reptiles and fishes can be subjected and kept in subjection by human nature. | 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, | 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 no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison. | and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [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 bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness. | with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to 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 there proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be. | out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen; | 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 | In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from the same opening? | doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter? | Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter? |
| James 3:12 | Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? No; and neither can salt water yield sweet. | is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water [is able] to make. | Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water. |
| James 3:13 | Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit. | Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in 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 in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth. | and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie 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 | That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits. | this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like, | This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish. |
| James 3:16 | For where envy and rivalry are, there also are unrest and every vile deed. | for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter; | For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing. |
| James 3:17 | The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity. | and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: | But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned. |
| James 3:18 | And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed of which the harvest is righteousness. | and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace. | But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace. |
