KJV ¹ My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

TR1550 ¹ μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε ἀδελφοί μου εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα ληψόμεθα

KJV 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.

TR1550 ² πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα

KJV ³ Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

TR1550 ³ ἰδού τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν πρὸς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν

KJV 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.

TR1550 ⁴ ἰδού καὶ τὰ πλοῖα τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ σκληρῶν ἀνέμων ἐλαυνόμενα μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὅπου ἂν ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούληται

KJV ⁵ Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

TR1550 ⁵ οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ μεγάλαυχεῖ ἰδού ὀλίγον πῦρ ἡλίκην ὕλην ἀνάπτει

KJV 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.

TR1550 ⁶ καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ ὁ κόσμος τῆς ἀδικίας οὕτως ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὅλον τὸ σῶμα καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης

KJV 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:

TR1550 ⁷ πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ

KJV ⁸ But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

TR1550 ⁸ τὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς δύναται ἀνθρώπων δαμάσαι ἀκατάσχετον κακόν μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου

KJV ⁹ Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

TR1550 ⁹ ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν θεὸν καὶ πατέρα καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθ᾽ ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας

KJV ¹⁰ Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

TR1550 ¹⁰ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα οὐ χρή ἀδελφοί μου ταῦτα οὕτως γίνεσθαι

KJV ¹¹ Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

TR1550 ¹¹ μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν

KJV ¹² Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

TR1550 ¹² μὴ δύναται ἀδελφοί μου συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἄμπελος σῦκα οὕτως οὐδεμια πηγὴ ἁλυκὸν καὶ γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὕδωρ

KJV 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.

TR1550 ¹³ τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας

KJV ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

TR1550 ¹⁴ εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας

KJV ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

TR1550 ¹⁵ οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν κατερχομένη ἀλλ᾽ ἐπίγειος ψυχική δαιμονιώδης

KJV ¹⁶ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

TR1550 ¹⁶ ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα

KJV 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.

TR1550 ¹⁷ ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν ἔπειτα εἰρηνική ἐπιεικής εὐπειθής μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀδιάκριτος καὶ ἀνυπόκριτος

KJV ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

TR1550 ¹⁸ καρπὸς δὲ τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην
