59:002:024 Ye see then how that by works a man is
justified, and not by
faith
only.
59:002:025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot
justified by works,
when
she had received the messengers, and had sent them
out
another
way?
59:002:026 For as the body without the spirit is dead,
so faith without
works
is dead also.
59:003:001 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing
that we shall
receive
the greater condemnation.
59:003:002 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.
59:003:003 Behold, we put bits in the horses’
mouths, that they may obey
us;
and we turn about their whole body.
59:003:004 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.
59:003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member,
and boasteth great
things.
Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
59:003:006 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.
59:003:007 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:
59:003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an
unruly evil, full of
deadly
poison.
59:003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father;
and therewith curse
we
men, which are made after the similitude of God.
59:003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing
and cursing. My
brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
59:003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same
place sweet water and
bitter?
59:003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive
berries? either a
vine,
figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
fresh.
59:003:013 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.
59:003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife
in your hearts, glory
not,
and lie not against the truth.
59:003:015 This wisdom descendeth not from above,
but is earthly,
sensual,
devilish.
59:003:016 For where envying and strife is, there
is confusion and every
evil
work.
59:003:017 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.
