Chapter 3
My
brethren,
bee
not
many
masters,
knowing
that
we
shall
receiue
the
greater
condemnation.
2
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.
3
Behold,
we
put
bittes
in
the
horses
mouthes,
that
they
may
obey
vs,
and
we
turne
about
their
whole
body.
4
Behold
also
the
ships,
which
though
they
be
so
great,
and
are
driuen
of
fierce
windes,
yet
are
they
turned
about
with
a
very
small
helme,
whithersoeuer
the
gouernour
listeth.
5
Euen
so
the
tongue
is
a
little
member,
and
boasteth
great
things:
behold,
how
great
a
matter
a
litle
fire
kindleth.
6
And
the
tongue
is
a
fire,
a
world
of
iniquitie:
so
is
the
tongue
amongst
our
members,
that
it
defileth
the
whole
body,
and
setteth
on
fire
the
course
of
nature,
and
it
is
set
on
fire
of
hell.
7
For
euery
kind
of
beasts,
and
of
birds,
and
of
serpents,
and
things
in
the
sea,
is
tamed,
and
hath
been
tamed
of
mankind.
8
But
the
tongue
can
no
man
tame,
it
is
an
vnruly
euill,
ful
of
deadly
poyson.
9
Therewith
blesse
wee
God,
euen
the
Father:
and
therewith
curse
wee
men,
which
are
made
after
the
similitude
of
God.
10
Out
of
the
same
mouth
proceedeth
blessing
and
cursing:
my
brethren,
these
things
ought
not
so
to
be.
11
Doeth
a
fountaine
send
foorth
at
the
same
place
sweet
water
and
bitter?
12
Can
ye
figtree,
my
brethren,
beare
oliue
berries?
either
a
vine,
figs?
so
can
no
fountaine
both
yeeld
salt
water
&
fresh.
13
Who
is
a
wise
man
and
indued
with
knowledge
amongst
you?
let
him
shew
out
of
a
good
conuersation
his
workes
with
meekenes
of
wisedome.
14
But
if
ye
haue
bitter
enuying
and
strife
in
your
hearts
glory
not,
and
lie
not
against
the
trueth.
15
This
wisedome
descendeth
not
from
aboue,
but
is
earthly,
sensuall,
deuilish.
16
For
where
enuying
and
strife
is,
there
is
confusion,
and
euery
euill
worke.
17
But
the
wisedome
that
is
from
aboue,
is
first
pure,
then
peaceable,
gentle,
and
easie
to
be
intreated,
full
of
mercy,
and
good
fruits,
without
partialitie,
and
without
hypocrisie.
18
And
the
fruit
of
righteousnesse
is
sowen
in
peace,
of
them
that
make
peace.
