King James Bible

Book	Chapter	Verse
James	3	(5) Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
James	3	(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.
James	3	(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:
James	3	(8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
James	3	(9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
James	3	(10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
James	3	(11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
James	3	(12) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
James	3	(13) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
James	3	(14) But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
James	3	(15) This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
James	3	(16) For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work:
James	3	(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.
James	3	(18) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James	4	(1) FROM WHENCE come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James	4	(2) Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
James	4	(3) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James	4	(4) Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James	4	(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
James	4	(6) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
