| James 3:1 | Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive, | Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment. | Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others. |
| 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 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. | 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. |
| 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; | For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. | 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. |
| 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, | 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. | 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. |
| 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 indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood. | 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! |
| 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, 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. | 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. |
| 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 nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man: | 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; |
| 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 no man can tame, an unquiet 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. |
| 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; | By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness 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. |
| 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 proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. | Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so. |
| James 3:11 | doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter? | Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water? | Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water? |
| 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. | Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet. | 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? |
| 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 is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom. | Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle 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 zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars 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. |
| James 3:15 | this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like, | For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish. | This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One. |
| James 3:16 | for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter; | For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work. | For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing. |
| 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, 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. | 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. |
| James 3:18 | and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace. | And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace. | And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace. |
