야고보서 3
Korean Living Bible
혀를 조심하여라
3 형제 여러분, 너도 나도 선생이 되겠다고 하지 마십시오. 여러분도 다 아는 일이지만 선생 된 우리가 더 큰 심판을 받을 것입니다.
2 우리는 다 실수가 많은 사람들입니다. 만일 사람이 말에 실수가 없으면 그는 자기 자신을 다스릴 수 있는 완전한 사람입니다.
3 우리는 말의 입에 재갈을 물려 마음대로 부립니다.
4 배를 보십시오. 그렇게 큰 배가 강풍에 밀려 다녀도 항해사는 아주 작은 키 하나로 그 배를 마음대로 조종합니다.
5 이와 같이 사람의 혀도 몸의 작은 부분에 불과하지만 [a]그것을 잘못 사용하면 큰 손해를 가져옵니다. 작은 불씨가 큰 숲을 태우지 않습니까?
6 그러므로 사람의 혀는 불과 같고 악으로 가득 찬 세계와 같습니다. 혀는 몸의 한 부분이지만 온 몸을 더럽히고 우리의 생애를 불태우며 끝내는 혀 그 자체도 지옥 불에 타고 맙니다.
7 온갖 짐승과 새와 파충류와 바다 생물은 사람에 의해서 길들여지고 있고 또 길들여졌습니다.
8 그러나 혀를 길들일 사람은 아무도 없습니다. 혀는 걷잡을 수 없는 악이며 죽이는 독으로 가득 차 있습니다.
9 우리는 이 혀로 하나님을 찬송도 하고 그분의 모습으로 창조된 사람들을 저주도 합니다.
10 한입에서 찬송과 저주가 나오고 있습니다. 형제 여러분, 이런 일이 있어서는 안 되겠습니다.
11 한샘에서 단물과 쓴물이 함께 나올 수 있겠습니까?
12 형제 여러분, 무화과나무가 감람 열매를 맺거나 포도덩굴이 무화과를 맺을 수 있겠습니까? 이와 같이 짠샘이 단물을 낼 수는 없습니다. 두 종류의 지혜
13 여러분 가운데 지혜롭고 총명한 사람이 누구입니까? 선한 생활로, 그리고 지혜로운 겸손의 행위로 그것을 나타내보이십시오.
14 그러나 마음속에 지독한 시기심과 이기적인 욕망이 있다면 여러분은 자랑하지 마십시오. 그리고 진리를 거슬러 거짓말하지 마십시오.
15 이런 지혜는 하늘에서 온 것이 아니라 세상적이요 정욕적이며 마귀의 것입니다.
16 시기와 이기적인 욕망이 있는 곳에는 혼란과 온갖 악한 일이 있을 뿐입니다.
17 그러나 하늘에서 온 지혜는 첫째 순결하고 다음에는 평화를 사랑하고 너그럽고 양순하고 자비와 선한 열매가 가득하고 편견과 위선이 없습니다.
18 평화를 조성하는 사람은 평화의 씨를 심어 의의 열매를 거둡니다.

The Untamable Tongue
3 My brethren, (A)let not many of you become teachers, (B)knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For (C)we all stumble in many things. (D)If anyone does not stumble in word, (E)he is a [a]perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 [b]Indeed, (F)we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so (G)the tongue is a little member and (H)boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And (I)the tongue is a fire, a world of [c]iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it (J)defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of [d]nature; and it is set on fire by [e]hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, (K)full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made (L)in the [f]similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a (M)fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? [g]Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
13 (N)Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have (O)bitter envy and [h]self-seeking in your hearts, (P)do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 (Q)This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For (R)where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But (S)the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, (T)without partiality (U)and without hypocrisy. 18 (V)Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Taming the Tongue
3 Not many of you should become teachers,(A) my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged(B) more strictly.(C) 2 We all stumble(D) in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say(E) is perfect,(F) able to keep their whole body in check.(G)
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.(H) 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.(I) Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire,(J) a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body,(K) sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.(L)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.(M)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.(N) 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?(O) Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it(P) by their good life, by deeds(Q) done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(R) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(S) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(T) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(U) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(V) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(W) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(X) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(Y) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(Z) 18 Peacemakers(AA) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(AB)
James 3
King James Version
James 3
King James Version
3 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive 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 bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 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.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 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.
7 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:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we 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 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 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.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
