雅各书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
邪恶的舌头
3 我的弟兄姊妹，不要个个当教师，因为你们知道，我们为人师表的将受到更严格的评判， 2 因为我们在许多方面难免有过失。如果谁在言语上没有过失，他就是纯全的人，也能在各方面保持自制。 3 我们如果把嚼环放在马嘴里，便可以使它顺服，驾驭它。 4 一艘大船在遭遇暴风吹袭时，船身虽然庞大，但舵手只要操纵一个小小的舵，就能随意驾驶它。
5 同样，人的舌头虽然很小，却能说夸大的话。
看啊，小火星能点燃大森林。 6 舌头就是火，是我们身体上的一个充满邪恶的世界，能玷污人的全身，足以毁掉人的一生，它是从地狱点燃的火。 7 自然界中的各类走兽、飞禽、爬虫、水族都可以被驯服，也已经被人类驯服了， 8 但无人能驯服自己的舌头，因为舌头是个无法控制的邪恶之物，充满了致命的毒气。 9 我们用舌头来赞美主和天父，也用舌头来咒诅照着上帝的形象被造的人。 10 赞美和咒诅竟然从同一张嘴里发出来。我的弟兄姊妹，这是不应该的！ 11 同一个泉源能涌出甜苦两样水吗？ 12 我的弟兄姊妹，无花果树能结出橄榄吗？葡萄树能结出无花果吗？一个咸水泉必流不出甜水来。
天上的智慧
13 你们当中谁是有智慧、有见识的呢？请他带着来自智慧的谦和，在善行上表现出来。 14 但如果你们心怀苦毒的嫉妒和自私的野心，就不要自夸说有智慧，也不要违背真理去撒谎。 15 这种智慧并非来自天上，而是从世俗、私欲和魔鬼来的。 16 哪里有嫉妒和自私的野心，哪里就会有混乱和各样的恶事。
17 但从天上来的智慧首先是纯洁，然后是爱好和平、温良柔顺、充满怜悯、多结善果、不存偏见、没有虚伪。 18 使人和睦的人撒下和平的种子，必收获仁义的果实。

要制伏舌头
3 我的弟兄们，你们不应该有太多人作教师，因为知道我们作教师的将受更严厉的审判。 2 我们在许多的事上都有过错，假如有人在言语上没有过错，他就是完全的人，也能够控制全身。 3 我们若把嚼环扣入马嘴，使牠们驯服，就能驾驭牠们的全身。 4 试看，船只虽然甚大，又被狂风催逼，舵手只用小小的舵，就可以随意操纵。 5 照样，舌头虽然是个小肢体，却会说夸大的话。
试看，星星之火，可以燎原； 6 舌头就是火，在我们百体中，是个不义的世界，能污秽全身，把整个生命在运转中焚烧起来，而且是被地狱之火点燃的。 7 各类飞禽、走兽、昆虫、水族，都可以驯服，而且都已经被人类制伏了； 8 可是没有人能够制伏舌头；它是喋喋不休的恶物，充满了致命的毒素。 9 我们用它来称颂我们的主和天父，又用它来咒诅照 神的形象被造的人。 10 同一张嘴竟然又称颂主，又咒诅人；我的弟兄们，这是不应该的！ 11 同一泉眼里能够涌出甜水和苦水来吗？ 12 我的弟兄们，无花果树能结橄榄吗？葡萄树能长无花果吗？咸水也不能发出甜水来。
从天上来的智慧
13 你们中间谁是有智慧、有见识的呢？他就应当有美好的生活，用明智的温柔，把自己的行为表现出来。 14 如果你们心中存着刻薄的嫉妒和自私，就不可夸口，也不可说谎抵挡真理。 15 这种智慧不是从天上来的，而是属地的、属血气的和属鬼魔的。 16 因为凡有嫉妒和自私的地方，就必有扰乱和各样的坏事。 17 至于从天上来的智慧，首先是纯洁的，其次是和平的，温柔的，谦逊的，满有恩慈和善果，没有偏袒，没有虚伪。 18 这是缔造和平的人，用和平所培植出来的义果。

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.

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)

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.
