| 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 offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. | 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. |
| 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; | Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. | Indeed, we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. |
| 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 the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. | 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. |
| 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 little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! | So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a 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: 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 of 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. |
| 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 kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: | For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind. |
| 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 can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. | But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly 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; | Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. | With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image 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 proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. | Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not 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 at the same place sweet water and bitter? | Does a spring send forth from the same opening fresh 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 olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. | Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh 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 is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. | Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show his deeds done in gentleness of wisdom by his good life. |
| James 3:14 | and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth; | But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. | But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. |
| James 3:15 | this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like, | This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. | This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. |
| James 3:16 | for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter; | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. | For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed. |
