| James 3:1 | Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive, | Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others. | Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment. |
| James 3:2 | 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 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 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 | lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about; | 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 the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies. |
| James 3:4 | 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, | 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 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 | so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle! | 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! | 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, 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 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] 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 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 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 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 | and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison, | 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 one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison. |
| James 3:9 | with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God; | 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. | 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 doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen; | 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 goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus. |
| James 3:11 | doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter? | Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water? | Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter? |
| James 3:12 | 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. | 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, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water. |
| James 3:13 | Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom, | 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 shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom; |
| James 3:14 | and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth; | 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 emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. |
| James 3:15 | this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like, | This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One. | This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish. |
| James 3:16 | for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter; | 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 emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing. |
| James 3:17 | 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 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 from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned. |
| James 3:18 | and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace. | And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace. | But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace. |
