Ang Dila
3 Mga kapatid, huwag basta-bastang maghangad na maging tagapagturo ang marami sa inyo, dahil alam ninyong mas mabigat ang paghatol sa aming mga nagtuturo. 2 Lahat tayo ay madalas magkamali. Kung mayroon mang hindi nagkakamali sa pananalita niya, isa siyang taong ganap at may kakayahang pigilin ang kanyang sarili. 3 Nirerendahan natin ang mga kabayo para sumunod saan man natin gustong papuntahin. 4 Isipin nʼyo rin ang mga barko na kahit napakalaki at itinutulak ng malakas na hangin ay napapabaling ng maliit na timon at napapapunta ng kapitan saan man niya gustuhin. 5 Ganoon din naman ang dila natin; kahit na maliit na bahagi ng katawan, nakakagawa ng malaking kayabangan. Isipin nʼyo kung gaano kalawak na gubat ang masusunog na galing lang sa maliit na apoy. 6 Ang dila ay tulad ng apoy. Napakaraming kasamaan ang nagmumula sa ating dila at ito ay nagpaparumi sa buong pagkatao natin. Katulad ito ng apoy na nanggagaling sa impyerno, at sumisira sa buong buhay natin. 7 Lahat ng uri ng hayop na lumalakad, lumilipad, gumagapang o nakatira sa tubig ay napapaamo ng tao. 8 Pero walang taong nakakagawa nito sa dila. Wala itong tigil sa kasamaan at puno ng lasong nakamamatay. 9 Sa pamamagitan ng dila, pinupuri natin ang ating Panginoon at Ama, pero sa pamamagitan din nito ay isinusumpa natin ang ating kapwa na nilikhang kalarawan ng Dios. 10 Mula sa iisang bibig nanggagaling ang pagpupuri at pagsumpa. Mga kapatid, hindi dapat ganyan. 11 Maaari bang lumabas sa iisang bukal ang matabang na tubig at ang maalat na tubig? Hindi! 12 Mga kapatid, hindi rin maaaring mamunga ng olibo ang puno ng igos o ng igos ang ubas. Hindi rin maaaring makakuha ng tubig-tabang sa tubig-alat.
Ang Karunungang Mula sa Dios
13 Sino sa inyo ang marunong at nakakaunawa? Ipakita niya na talagang marunong siya sa pamamagitan ng mabuting pamumuhay na may pagpapakumbaba. 14 Kung pagkainggit at pagkamakasarili naman ang umiiral sa inyong puso, huwag ninyong ipagyabang na may karunungan kayo, dahil pinasisinungalingan nʼyo ang katotohanan. 15 Ang ganitong karunungan ay hindi nagmumula sa Dios kundi sa mundo. Mula ito sa diyablo at hindi sa Banal na Espiritu. 16 Sapagkat kung saan umiiral ang pagkainggit at pagkamakasarili, naroon din ang kaguluhan at lahat ng uri ng kasamaan. 17 Ngunit ang taong may karunungang mula sa Dios, una sa lahat ay may malinis na pamumuhay. Maibigin siya sa kapayapaan, mahinahon, masunurin, puno ng awa at kabutihan, walang pinapaboran, at hindi nagkukunwari. 18 Ang taong maibigin sa kapayapaan at nagpapalaganap nito ay nagdudulot ng maayos na relasyon sa iba.

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 (A)Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. 2 For (B)we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, (C)he is a perfect man, (D)able also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put (E)bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet (F)it boasts of great things.
How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And (G)the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, (H)staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life,[a] and set on fire by hell.[b] 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, (I)full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people (J)who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,[c] these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? 12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.
Wisdom from Above
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? (K)By his good conduct let him show his works (L)in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter (M)jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not (N)the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, (O)demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But (P)the wisdom from above is first pure, then (Q)peaceable, gentle, open to reason, (R)full of mercy and good fruits, (S)impartial and (T)sincere. 18 And (U)a harvest of righteousness (V)is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Warnung vor dem Missbrauch der Zunge
3 Werdet nicht in großer Zahl Lehrer, meine Brüder, da ihr wisst, dass wir ein strengeres Urteil empfangen werden!
2 Denn wir alle verfehlen uns vielfach; wenn jemand sich im Wort nicht verfehlt, so ist er ein vollkommener[a] Mann, fähig, auch den ganzen Leib im Zaum zu halten.
3 Siehe, den Pferden legen wir die Zäume ins Maul, damit sie uns gehorchen, und so lenken wir ihren ganzen Leib.
4 Siehe, auch die Schiffe, so groß sie sind und so rau die Winde auch sein mögen, die sie treiben — sie werden von einem ganz kleinen Steuerruder gelenkt, wohin die Absicht des Steuermannes will.
5 So ist auch die Zunge ein kleines Glied und rühmt sich doch großer Dinge. Siehe, ein kleines Feuer — welch großen Wald zündet es an!
6 Und die Zunge ist ein Feuer, eine Welt der Ungerechtigkeit. So nimmt die Zunge ihren Platz ein unter unseren Gliedern; sie befleckt den ganzen Leib und steckt den Umkreis des Lebens in Brand und wird selbst von der Hölle in Brand gesteckt.
7 Denn jede Art der wilden Tiere und Vögel, der Reptilien und Meerestiere wird bezwungen und ist bezwungen worden von der menschlichen Natur;
8 die Zunge aber kann kein Mensch bezwingen, das unbändige Übel voll tödlichen Giftes!
9 Mit ihr loben wir Gott, den Vater, und mit ihr verfluchen wir die Menschen, die nach dem Bild Gottes gemacht sind;
10 aus ein und demselben Mund geht Loben und Fluchen hervor. Das soll nicht so sein, meine Brüder!
11 Sprudelt auch eine Quelle aus derselben Öffnung Süßes und Bitteres hervor?
12 Kann auch, meine Brüder, ein Feigenbaum Oliven tragen, oder ein Weinstock Feigen? So kann auch eine Quelle nicht salziges und süßes Wasser geben.
Die Weisheit von oben und die irdische Weisheit
13 Wer ist weise und verständig unter euch? Der zeige durch einen guten Wandel seine Werke in Sanftmütigkeit, die aus der Weisheit kommt!
14 Wenn ihr aber bitteren Neid und Selbstsucht in eurem Herzen habt, so rühmt euch nicht und lügt nicht gegen die Wahrheit!
15 Das ist nicht die Weisheit, die von oben kommt, sondern eine irdische, seelische, dämonische.
16 Denn wo Neid und Selbstsucht ist, da ist Unordnung und jede böse Tat.
17 Die Weisheit von oben aber ist erstens rein, sodann friedfertig, gütig; sie lässt sich etwas sagen[b], ist voll Barmherzigkeit und guter Früchte, unparteiisch und frei von Heuchelei.
18 Die Frucht der Gerechtigkeit aber wird in Frieden denen gesät, die Frieden stiften.

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)
