雅各书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
舌头最难制伏
3 我的弟兄们，不要多人做师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。 2 原来我们在许多事上都有过失。若有人在话语上没有过失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。 3 我们若把嚼环放在马嘴里，叫它顺服，就能调动他的全身。 4 看哪，船只虽然甚大，又被大风催逼，只用小小的舵就随着掌舵的意思转动。 5 这样，舌头在百体里也是最小的，却能说大话。看哪，最小的火能点着最大的树林！ 6 舌头就是火，在我们百体中舌头是个罪恶的世界，能污秽全身，也能把生命的轮子点起来，并且是从地狱里点着的。 7 各类的走兽、飞禽、昆虫、水族本来都可以制伏，也已经被人制伏了； 8 唯独舌头，没有人能制伏，是不止息的恶物，满了害死人的毒气。 9 我们用舌头颂赞那为主、为父的，又用舌头咒诅那照着神形象被造的人。 10 颂赞和咒诅从一个口里出来，我的弟兄们，这是不应当的！ 11 泉源从一个眼里能发出甜苦两样的水吗？ 12 我的弟兄们，无花果树能生橄榄吗？葡萄树能结无花果吗？咸水里也不能发出甜水来。
论从上头来的智慧
13 你们中间谁是有智慧、有见识的呢？他就当在智慧的温柔上显出他的善行来。 14 你们心里若怀着苦毒的嫉妒和纷争，就不可自夸，也不可说谎话抵挡真道。 15 这样的智慧不是从上头来的，乃是属地的，属情欲的，属鬼魔的。 16 在何处有嫉妒、纷争，就在何处有扰乱和各样的坏事。 17 唯独从上头来的智慧，先是清洁，后是和平、温良、柔顺、满有怜悯、多结善果、没有偏见、没有假冒； 18 并且使人和平的，是用和平所栽种的义果。
James 3
New King James Version
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.
