Ang Dila
3 Mga kapatid, huwag maghangad na maging guro ang marami sa inyo, dahil alam ninyo na tayong mga nagtuturo ay hahatulan nang mas mahigpit kaysa iba. 2 Tayong(A) lahat ay nagkakamali sa iba't ibang paraan. Ang sinumang hindi nagkakamali sa kanyang pananalita ay isang taong ganap at marunong magpigil sa sarili.
3 Kapag nilagyan ng renda ang bibig ng kabayo, ito'y napapasunod natin at napapabaling saanman natin naisin. 4 Gayundin ang barko. Kahit na ito'y napakalaki at itinutulak ng malalakas na hangin, naibabaling ito saanman naisin ng piloto sa pamamagitan ng napakaliit na timon. 5 Ganyan din ang dila ng tao; maliit na bahagi lamang ng katawan, ngunit napakalaki ng mga ipinagyayabang.
Isipin na lamang ninyo kung paano napapalagablab ng isang maliit na apoy ang isang malawak na kagubatan. 6 Ang(B) dila ay parang apoy, isang daigdig ng kasamaang nagpaparumi sa ating buong pagkatao. Ang apoy nito ay mula sa impiyerno at sinusunog ang lahat sa buhay ng tao. 7 Lahat ng uri ng ibon at hayop na lumalakad, o gumagapang, o nakatira sa tubig ay kayang paamuin, at napaamo na ng tao, 8 ngunit wala pang nakakapagpaamo sa dila. Ito ay kasamaang hindi mapigil, at puno ng kamandag na nakamamatay. 9 Ito(C) ang ginagamit natin sa pagpupuri sa ating Panginoon at Ama, at ito rin ang ginagamit natin sa panlalait sa taong nilalang na kalarawan ng Diyos. 10 Sa iisang bibig nanggagaling ang pagpupuri at panlalait. Hindi ito dapat mangyari, mga kapatid. 11 Hindi lumalabas sa iisang bukal ang tubig-tabang at tubig-alat. 12 Mga kapatid, hinding-hindi makakapamunga ng olibo ang puno ng igos, o ng igos ang puno ng ubas, at lalong hindi rin bumubukal ang tubig-tabang sa bukal ng tubig-alat.
Ang Karunungang Mula sa Diyos
13 Sino(D) sa inyo ang marunong at nakakaunawa? Ipakita niya ito sa pamamagitan ng wastong pamumuhay na bunga ng kapakumbabaan at karunungan. 14 Ngunit kung ang naghahari sa inyong puso ay inggit at makasariling hangarin, huwag ninyo iyang ipagmalaki at huwag ninyong ikaila ang katotohanan. 15 Ang ganyang karunungan ay hindi galing sa langit, kundi makalupa, makalaman at mula sa demonyo. 16 Sapagkat saanman naghahari ang inggit at makasariling hangarin, naghahari din doon ang kaguluhan at lahat ng uri ng masamang gawa.
17 Ngunit ang karunungang mula sa langit, una sa lahat, ay malinis, mapayapa, maamo, mapagbigay, punô ng awa, masaganang namumunga ng mabubuting gawa, hindi nagtatangi at hindi nagkukunwari. 18 Namumunga ng katuwiran ang binhi ng kapayapaang itinatanim ng taong maibigin sa kapayapaan.

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.

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)
