1
Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment,
1
Μὴ
πολλοὶ
διδάσκαλοι
γίνεσθε
ἀδελφοί
μου
εἰδότες
ὅτι
μεῖζον
κρίμα
λημψόμεθα
2
for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.
2
πολλὰ
γὰρ
πταίομεν
ἅπαντες
εἴ
τις
ἐν
λόγῳ
οὐ
πταίει
οὗτος
τέλειος
ἀνήρ
δυνατὸς
χαλιναγωγῆσαι
καὶ
ὅλον
τὸ
σῶμα
3
Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal.
3
Εἰ
δὲ
τῶν
ἵππων
τοὺς
χαλινοὺς
εἰς
τὰ
στόματα
βάλλομεν
εἰς
τὸ
πείθεσθαι
αὐτοὺς
ἡμῖν
καὶ
ὅλον
τὸ
σῶμα
αὐτῶν
μετάγομεν
4
And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
4
ἰδοὺ
καὶ
τὰ
πλοῖα
τηλικαῦτα
ὄντα
καὶ
ὑπὸ
ἀνέμων
σκληρῶν
ἐλαυνόμενα
μετάγεται
ὑπὸ
ἐλαχίστου
πηδαλίου
ὅπου
ἡ
ὁρμὴ
τοῦ
εὐθύνοντος
βούλεται
5
So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites.
5
Οὕτως
καὶ
ἡ
γλῶσσα
μικρὸν
μέλος
ἐστὶν
καὶ
μεγάλα
αὐχεῖ
ἰδοὺ
ἡλίκον
πῦρ
ἡλίκην
ὕλην
ἀνάπτει
6
And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.
6
καὶ
ἡ
γλῶσσα
πῦρ
ὁ
κόσμος
τῆς
ἀδικίας
ἡ
γλῶσσα
καθίσταται
ἐν
τοῖς
μέλεσιν
ἡμῶν
ἡ
σπιλοῦσα
ὅλον
τὸ
σῶμα
καὶ
φλογίζουσα
τὸν
τροχὸν
τῆς
γενέσεως
καὶ
φλογιζομένη
ὑπὸ
τῆς
γεέννης
7
Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man,
7
Πᾶσα
γὰρ
φύσις
θηρίων
τε
καὶ
πετεινῶν
ἑρπετῶν
τε
καὶ
ἐναλίων
δαμάζεται
καὶ
δεδάμασται
τῇ
φύσει
τῇ
ἀνθρωπίνῃ
8
but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
8
τὴν
δὲ
γλῶσσαν
οὐδεὶς
δαμάσαι
δύναται
ἀνθρώπων
ἀκατάστατον
κακόν
μεστὴ
ἰοῦ
θανατηφόρου
9
We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God's likeness with it.
9
Ἐν
αὐτῇ
εὐλογοῦμεν
τὸν
Κύριον
καὶ
Πατέρα
καὶ
ἐν
αὐτῇ
καταρώμεθα
τοὺς
ἀνθρώπους
τοὺς
καθ’
ὁμοίωσιν
Θεοῦ
γεγονότας
10
Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way.
10
ἐκ
τοῦ
αὐτοῦ
στόματος
ἐξέρχεται
εὐλογία
καὶ
κατάρα
οὐ
χρή
ἀδελφοί
μου
ταῦτα
οὕτως
γίνεσθαι
11
Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening?
11
μήτι
ἡ
πηγὴ
ἐκ
τῆς
αὐτῆς
ὀπῆς
βρύει
τὸ
γλυκὺ
καὶ
τὸ
πικρόν
12
Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.
12
μὴ
δύναται
ἀδελφοί
μου
συκῆ
ἐλαίας
ποιῆσαι
ἢ
ἄμπελος
σῦκα
οὔτε
ἁλυκὸν
γλυκὺ
ποιῆσαι
ὕδωρ
13
Who is wise and has understanding among you? He should show his works by good conduct with wisdom's gentleness.
13
Τίς
σοφὸς
καὶ
ἐπιστήμων
ἐν
ὑμῖν
δειξάτω
ἐκ
τῆς
καλῆς
ἀναστροφῆς
τὰ
ἔργα
αὐτοῦ
ἐν
πραΰτητι
σοφίας
14
But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't brag and deny the truth.
14
εἰ
δὲ
ζῆλον
πικρὸν
ἔχετε
καὶ
ἐριθείαν
ἐν
τῇ
καρδίᾳ
ὑμῶν
μὴ
κατακαυχᾶσθε
καὶ
ψεύδεσθε
κατὰ
τῆς
ἀληθείας
15
Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
15
οὐκ
ἔστιν
αὕτη
ἡ
σοφία
ἄνωθεν
κατερχομένη
ἀλλὰ
ἐπίγειος
ψυχική
δαιμονιώδης
16
For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.
16
ὅπου
γὰρ
ζῆλος
καὶ
ἐριθεία
ἐκεῖ
ἀκαταστασία
καὶ
πᾶν
φαῦλον
πρᾶγμα
17
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.
17
Ἡ
δὲ
ἄνωθεν
σοφία
πρῶτον
μὲν
ἁγνή
ἐστιν
ἔπειτα
εἰρηνική
ἐπιεικής
εὐπειθής
μεστὴ
ἐλέους
καὶ
καρπῶν
ἀγαθῶν
ἀδιάκριτος
ἀνυπόκριτος
18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.
18
καρπὸς
δὲ
δικαιοσύνης
ἐν
εἰρήνῃ
σπείρεται
τοῖς
ποιοῦσιν
εἰρήνην
