- Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers,
- because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
- 2
- We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says,
- he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
- 3
- When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us,
- we can turn the whole animal.
- 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.
- Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
- 6
- The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body.
- It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire,
- and is itself set on fire by hell.
- 7
- All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed
- and have been tamed by man,
- 8
- but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
- 9
- With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,
- who have been made in God's likeness.
- 10
- Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
- 11
- Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
- 12
- My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?
- Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
- 13
- Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life,
- by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
- 14
- But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts,
- do not boast about it or deny the truth.
- 15
- Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven
- but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.
- 16
- For where you have envy and selfish ambition,
- there you find disorder and every evil practice.
- 17
- But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure;
- then peace-loving, considerate, submissive,
- full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
- 18
- Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
