Jakubov List 3
Nádej pre kazdého
3 Bratia moji, nevyčítajte tak horlivo chyby iným, veď všetci sa dopúšťame mnohých pokleskov.
2 A ak my, ktorí učíme, robíme chyby, budeme súdení o to prísnejšie.
Kto vie skrotiť svoj jazyk, dokazuje, že je dokonalý človek a vie ovládať sám seba.
3 Aj veľkého koňa donútite poslúchať, keď mu do pysku vložíte malé zubadlo.
4 Alebo predstavte si loď: hoci je veľká a ženie ju prudký vietor, kormidelník ju ovláda malým kormidlom.
5 Aj jazyk je malý úd, ale môže spôsobiť veľké veci. Malý plamienok môže podpáliť celý les.
6 Aj jazyk je taký malý plamienok. Roznietený hriechom, môže spustošiť dušu aj telo človeka a napáchať i v jeho okolí veľa zla, rozdúchavaný pekelným plameňom.
7 Človek vie skrotiť rôzne druhy zvierat, vtákov, plazov i morských živočíchov,
8 ale svoj vlastný jazyk skrotiť nie je schopný. Ak raz vypustí z úst niečo zlé, vymkne sa to jeho vôli a šíri sa to ako smrteľný jed.
9 Bratia moji, jedným a tým istým jazykom nemožno chváliť nebeského otca a zároveň nenávistne útočiť na ľudí, jeho deti.
10 Tak ako z jedného prameňa nevyviera zároveň sladká aj horká voda,
11 tak nemôže ani z jedných úst vychádzať chvála aj osočovanie.
12 Môžete si azda natrhať olivy z figovníka a figy z viniča? Takisto nemôže slaný prameň dávať sladkú vodu.
13 Pokladá sa niekto z vás za múdreho a rozumného? Nech teda dokáže svoju múdrosť jemným a krásnym správaním.
14 Ale ak máte v srdci plno horkosti, závisti a sebectva, nechváľte sa múdrosťou, lebo je to v rozpore s pravdou.
15 Vaše myslenie neovláda Boh, ale vaše pudy a diabol.
16 Veď tam, kde sa vyskytne závisť a sebecké záujmy, vyskytnú sa aj sváry a iné zlo.
17 Múdrosť, ktorá pochádza od Boha, je predovšetkým čistá, mierumilovná, láskavá a ústupčivá. Je vždy milosrdná a vedie k dobrým skutkom. Je úprimná a bez akéhokoľvek pokrytectva.
18 Ovocie spravodlivosti dostávajú od Boha tí, čo rozsievajú pokoj.

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
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.
