CHAP. III.
1 We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprooue
others: 5 but rather to bridle the tongue,
a little member, but a powerfull instrument of
much good, and great harme. 13 They who
be truely wise, be milde, and peaceable, without
enuying, and strife.
1
My brethren, bee not many
masters, knowing that
we shall receiue the greater
note 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 note 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 note kind of beasts, and of
birds, and of serpents, and things in the
sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of
note 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 note place sweet water and bitter?
12
Can þe; 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.
Pure wisedome.
15
This wisedome descendeth not
from aboue, but is earthly, note sensuall,
deuilish.
16
For where enuying and strife is,
there is note 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, note without partialitie,
and without hypocrisie.
18
And the fruit of righteousnesse is
sowen in peace, of them that make
peace.
