3 Mine Brødre! ikke mange af eder bør blive Lærere, såsom I vide, at vi skulle få en desto tungere Dom. 2 Thi vi støde alle an i mange Ting; dersom nogen ikke støder an i Tale, da er han en fuldkommen Mand, i Stand til også at holde hele Legemet i Tomme. 3 Men når vi lægge Bidsler i Hestenes Munde, for at de skulle adlyde os, så dreje vi også hele deres Legeme. 4 Se, også Skibene, endskønt de ere så store og drives af stærke Vinde, drejes med et såre lidet Ror, hvorhen Styrmandens Hu står. 5 Således er også Tungen et lille Lem og fører store Ord. Se, hvor lille en Ild der stikker så stor en Skov i Brand! 6 Og Tungen er en Ild. Som en Verden af Uretfærdighed sidder Tungen iblandt vore Lemmer; den besmitter hele Legemet og sætter Livets Hjul i Brand, selv sat i Brand af Helvede. 7 Thi enhver Natur, både Dyrs og Fugles, både Krybdyrs og Havdyrs, tæmmes og er tæmmet af den menneskelige Natur; 8 men Tungen kan intet Menneske tæmme, det ustyrlige Onde, fuld af dødbringende Gift. 9 Med den velsigne vi Herren og Faderen, og med den forbande vi Menneskene, som ere blevne til efter Guds Lighed. 10 Af den samme Mund udgår Velsignelse og Forbandelse. Mine Brødre! dette bør ikke være så. 11 Mon en Kilde udgyder sødt Vand og besk Vand af det samme Væld? 12 Mon et Figentræ, mine Brødre! kan give Oliven, eller et Vintræ Figener? Heller ikke kan en Salt Kilde give fersk Vand.
13 Er nogen viis og forstandig iblandt eder, da vise han ved god Omgængelse sine Gerninger i viis Sagtmodighed! 14 Men have I bitter Avind og Rænkesyge i eders Hjerter, da roser eder ikke og lyver ikke imod Sandheden! 15 Dette er ikke den Visdom, som kommer ovenfra, men en jordisk, sjælelig, djævelsk; 16 thi hvor der er Avind og Rænkesyge, der er Forvirring og al ond Handel. 17 Men Visdommen herovenfra er først ren, dernæst fredsommelig, mild, føjelig, fuld at Barmhjertighed og gode Frugter, upartisk, uden Skrømt. 18 Men Retfærdigheds Frugt såes i Fred for dem, som stifte Fred.

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)
