| 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. |
| 3:2 | 原來我們在許多事上都有過失．若有人在話語上沒有過失、他就是完全人、也能勒住自己的全身。 |
| 3:2 | 原来我们在许多事上都有过失。若有人在话语上没有过失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。 |
| mat:12:34 | O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. |
| mat:12:35 | A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. |
| mat:12:36 | But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. |
| mat:12:37 | For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. |
| 1ki:8:46 | If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; |
| 2ch:6:36 | If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; |
| ecc:7:20 | For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. |
| mat:5:48 | Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. |
| jas:1:4 | But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. |
| jas:1:26 | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. |

| 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. |
| 3:14 | 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. |
