Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Dila
3 Mga kaigsoonan ko, unta ang kadaghanan kaninyo dili mohandom nga mahimong magtutudlo, kay nasayran ninyo nga mas higpit ang paghukom sa Dios kanamo ingon nga mga magtutudlo. 2 Tinuod nga kitang tanan makadaghan masayop. Apan ang tawo nga dili masayop sa iyang pagpanulti, hingpit siya ug makapugong sa iyang kaugalingon. 3 Ang mga kabayo rendahan nato aron mosunod kon asa nato gusto paadtoon. 4 Ug tan-awa usab gani ninyo ang barko: bisan dako ug gipadagan sa kusog nga hangin, kontrolado kini sa gamay nga timon. Busa bisan asa paadtoon sa timonil ang sakayan, didto kini moadto. 5 Mao man usab ang atong dila. Gamay lamang kini nga bahin sa atong lawas apan makapanghinambog ug dagkong mga butang. Hunahunaa ninyo kon unsa kalapad nga kakahoyan ang masunog sa gamay lang nga kalayo. 6 Ang dila sa tawo sama usab sa kalayo. Daghang daotan nga pulong ang mahaling sa dila, ug modalahig sa atong tibuok nga pagkatawo. Ang mga daotan nga pulong sa atong dila sama sa kalayo nga gikan sa impiyerno ug mao ang nagaguba sa tibuok natong pagkinabuhi.
7 Ang tanang matang sa mga mananap: ang nagalakaw, ang nagalupad, ang nagakamang ug ang nagapuyo sa tubig, mahimong anaron sa tawo. 8 Apan wala gayoy tawo nga makapugong sa iyang dila. Ang dila daotan ug dili mapugngan, ug puno sa hilo nga makapatay. 9 Ang atong dila gigamit nato sa pagpasalamat sa atong Ginoo ug Amahan, apan mao usab ang atong gigamit sa pagdaot sa atong isigka-tawo nga gilalang nga susama sa Dios. 10 Pagpasalamat ug pagpangdaot ang nagagawas sa usa lang ka baba. Mga igsoon ko, dili kini angay mahitabo. 11 Dili mahimo nga mogawas ang tubig nga tab-ang ug parat sa usa lang ka tuboran. 12 Ug ang kahoy nga igos dili mahimong mamunga ug olibo, ug ang tanom nga ubas dili mahimong mamunga ug igos. Dili ka usab makakuha ug tubig nga tab-ang diha sa dagat.
Ang Kaalam nga gikan sa Langit
13 Aduna ba kaninyoy maalam ug masinabuton? Ipakita niya kini pinaagi sa iyang maayo nga pagkinabuhi nga may pagpaubos. Ang tawo dili maalam kon dili siya mapainubsanon. 14 Apan kon may kasina kamo ug hinakog nga tinguha, ayaw kamo pagpasigarbo nga maalam kamo, kay gipanghimakak lang ninyo ang kamatuoran. 15 Kana nga matang sa kaalam wala maggikan sa Dios kondili kalibotanon lang. Iya kana ni Satanas ug dili iya sa Espiritu Santo. 16 Kay kon asa gani ang kasina ug pagkahakog atua usab ang kaguliyang ug ang tanang matang sa kadaotan. 17 Apan kon may kaalam kita nga gikan sa Dios, una sa tanan, putli ang atong kinabuhi, ug unya maabiabihon kita, maaghop, maminaw sa katarungan, maluloy-on kaayo, maayo ang atong binuhatan, wala kitay pinalabi ug dili tigpakaaron-ingnon. 18 Ang tawo nga nagapugas ug kalinaw moani ug pagkamatarong ug maayo nga relasyon sa usag usa.

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)

King James Version
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.
