(1) Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that ye will receive a judgement.	(1) Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα·

(2) For we all stumble many times. He who stumbleth not in a word, this is a perfect man, it being possible for him to bridle the whole body.	(2) πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες. εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.

(3) If we put (lit, give) bridle to the mouths of the horses, (it is) for them to obey us, and we drive their whole body.	(3) εἰ δὲ τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν.

(4) Behold the ships which are so great, driven by rough winds, are guided (lit. brought) by a little helm, whither the steersman will wish to direct (lit. give) his course.	(4) ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα, τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνέμων σκληρῶν ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὅπου ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούλεται·

(5) Thus also the tongue is a little member, and it speaketh great things, Behold, a little fire burneth a whole wood.	(5) οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ μεγάλα αὐχεῖ.

(6) The tongue also is a fire, (the) ornament of (the) iniquity. The tongue is among the members, and it defileth the whole body; it burneth the wheel of the birth, and it burneth by the Geenna.	(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) For all natures of the beasts and the birds and the creeping things and those which are in the seas are tamed, and are subject to the nature of [the] humanity:	(7) πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ·
(ⲏ̅) ⲡⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̀ⲑⲟϥ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ ϩⲗⲓ ⲛ̀ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϣⲑⲣⲟ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟϥ ⲉ̀ϭⲛⲉϫⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲁⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲙⲉϩ ⲙ̀ⲙⲁⲑⲟⲩⲓ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲫⲙⲟⲩ	(ⲏ︦) ⲡⲗⲁⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ ϭⲟⲙ ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲇⲁⲙⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧϣⲧⲣ̅ⲧⲱⲣ ⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲉⲧⲙⲉϩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.	(8) but the tongue itself there is not any man who can make it subject; it is an unsettled (thing), being evil, being full of poison of (the) death.	(8) τὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς δαμάσαι δύναται ἀνθρώπων· ἀκατάστατον κακόν, μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου.

(9) We blessed God and the Father by it; and from it we revile [the] men, whom God made like to him:	(9) ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν κύριον καὶ πατέρα, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθʼ ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας·

(10) from the same mouth come forth the blessing and the cursing. That which is not right to be, my brethren, (is it) that these things should be thus.	(10) ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα. οὐ χρή, ἀδελφοί μου, ταῦτα οὕτως γίνεσθαι.

(11) Doth the fountain pour forth that which is sweet and that which is salt from the same one opening?	(11) μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν;

(12) Is it possible, my brethren, for the fig-tree that it should produce olives, or a vine that it should produce figs? Thus that which is sweet shall not produce a salt water.	(12) μὴ δύναται, ἀδελφοί μου, συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἄμπελος σῦκα; οὔτε ἁλυκὸν γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὕδωρ.

(13) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show to us his works from his good walk (of life) in [a] meekness of [a] wisdom.

(14) But if there is bitter jealousy among you and strife in your hearts, boast not yourselves and speak (not) falsehood against the truth.

(17) But the wisdom which is from above, first indeed it is pure, then it is peacemaking, it is fair, full of mercy, and good fruit, it is not self-judging, it is not hypocritical.
