| 3:1 | My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. |
| 3:2 | 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. |
| 3:3 | Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. |
| 3:4 | 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. |
| 3:5 | Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! |
| 3:6 | 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. |
| 3:7 | 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: |
| 3:8 | But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. |
| 3:9 | Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. |
| 3:10 | Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
| 3:11 | Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? |
| 3:12 | Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. |
| 3:13 | 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. |
| 3:13 | 你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢．他就當在智慧的溫柔上、顯出他的善行來。 |
| 3:13 | 你们中间有智慧有见识的呢。他就当在智慧的温柔上，显出他的善行来。 |
| psm:107:43 | Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. |
| gal:6:1 | Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. |
| jas:1:21 | Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. |
| phl:1:27 | Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; |
| jas:2:18 | Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. |

| 3:14 | But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. |
| 3:15 | This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. |
| 3:16 | For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. |
| 3:17 | 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. |
| 3:18 | And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. |
