Chapter 3 My brethren, be not many
masters, knowing that we shall receive the

00:06.700 --> 00:07.600
greater condemnation.

00:08.300 --> 00:10.280
For in many things we offend all.

00:11.320 --> 00:16.580
If any man offend not in word,
the same is a perfect man, and able also

00:16.580 --> 00:17.760
to bridle the whole body.

00:18.880 --> 00:24.040
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths,
that they may obey us, and we turn about

00:24.040 --> 00:25.040
their whole body.

00:25.040 --> 00:30.820
also the ships, which though they be so
great, and are driven of fierce winds,

00:31.660 --> 00:36.420
yet are they turned about with a very
small helm, whithersoever the governor

00:36.420 --> 00:36.900
listeth.

00:37.680 --> 00:42.700
Even so, the tongue is a little member,
and boasteth great things.

00:43.520 --> 00:49.240
Behold how great a matter a little fire
kindleth, and the tongue is of fire,

00:49.720 --> 00:50.860
a world of iniquity.

00:51.460 --> 00:56.220
So is the tongue among our members,
that it defileth the whole body,

00:56.320 --> 01:01.340
and setteth on fire the course of nature,
and it is set on fire of hell.

01:02.420 --> 01:06.220
For every kind of beast, and of birds,
and of serpents, and of things in the sea,

01:06.580 --> 01:09.100
is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind.

01:09.900 --> 01:12.840
But the tongue can no man tame.

01:13.540 --> 01:17.280
It is an unruly evil, full of deadly
poison.

01:18.300 --> 01:25.080
Therewith bless we God, even the Father,
and therewith curse we men, which are made

01:25.080 --> 01:26.660
after the similitude of God.

01:27.620 --> 01:30.840
After the same mouth proceedeth blessing
and cursing.

01:31.300 --> 01:34.560
My brethren, these things ought not so to
be.

01:35.640 --> 01:39.100
Doth a fountain send forth at the same
place sweet water and bitter?

01:40.000 --> 01:43.860
Can the fig tree, my brethren,
bear olive berries, either a vine,

01:44.120 --> 01:44.500
figs?

01:45.400 --> 01:48.680
So can no fountain both yield salt water
and fresh?

01:49.600 --> 01:52.300
Who is a wise man, and endued with
knowledge among you?

01:52.940 --> 01:57.360
Let him show out of a good conversation
his works with meekness of wisdom.

01:58.640 --> 02:05.500
But if ye have bitter envying and strife
in your hearts, glory not, and lie not

02:05.500 --> 02:06.300
against the truth.

02:07.260 --> 02:13.420
This wisdom descendeth not from above,
but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

02:14.500 --> 02:19.760
For where envying and strife is,
there is confusion and every evil work.

02:20.880 --> 02:28.620
But the wisdom that is from above is first
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to

02:28.620 --> 02:35.340
be entreated, full of mercy and good
fruits, without partiality and without

02:35.340 --> 02:36.000
hypocrisy.

02:36.880 --> 02:42.220
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in
peace of them that make peace.
