Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 3:1 | My brothers do not be many teachers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment. |
| 3:2 | For we all stumble in many ways . If any one does not stumble in word, this one is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body. |
| 3:3 | Behold, we put bits in the mouths of the horses, for them to obey us; and we turn about their whole body. |
| 3:4 | Behold, the ships also, being so great, and being driven by violent winds, they are directed by a very small rudder, where the impulse of the one steering purposes. |
| 3:5 | So also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how little a fire kindles how large a forest! |
| 3:6 | And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body, and inflaming the course of nature, and having been inflamed by Hell. |
| 3:7 | For every species of beasts, both indeed of birds, of creeping things, and of sea animals, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species ; |
| 3:8 | but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; it is an evil that cannot be restrained, full of death-dealing poison. |
| 3:9 | By this we bless God and the Father; and by this we curse men having come into being according to the image of God. Gen. 1:26 |
| 3:10 | Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers it is not fitting for these things to be so. |
| 3:11 | Does the fountain out of the same hole send forth the sweet and the bitter? |
| 3:12 | My brothers, a fig tree is not able to produce olives, or a vine figs. So neither can a fountain produce both salt and sweet water. |
| 3:13 | Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good behavior, in meekness of wisdom. |
| 3:14 | But if you have bitter jealousy and contention in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth. |
| 3:15 | This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, beastly, devilish. |
| 3:16 | For where jealousy and contention are , there is confusion and every foul deed. |
| 3:17 | But the wisdom from above is firstly truly pure, then peaceable, forbearing, yielding, full of mercy and of good fruits, not partial and not pretended. |
| 3:18 | And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for the ones making peace. |
