1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.2For 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.3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.4Behold 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.5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!6And 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.7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.17But 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.18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

اللِسان نارٌ

1لاَ تَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ كَثِيرِينَ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، عَالِمِينَ أَنَّنَا نَأْخُذُ دَيْنُونَةً أَعْظَمَ.2لأَنَّنَا فِي أَشْيَاءَ كَثِيرَةٍ نَعْثُرُ جَمِيعُنَا، إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لاَ يَعْثُرُ فِي الْكَلاَمِ فَذَاكَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُلْجِمَ كُلَّ الْجَسَدِ أَيْضاً.3هُوَذَا الْخَيْلُ نَضَعُ اللُّجُمَ فِي أَفْوَاهِهَا لِكَيْ تُطَاوِعَنَا فَنُدِيرَ جِسْمَهَا كُلَّهُ.4هُوَذَا السُّفُنُ أَيْضاً، وَهِيَ عَظِيمَةٌ بِهَذَا المِقْدَارِ وَتَسُوقُهَا رِيَاحٌ عَاصِفَةٌ، تُدِيرُهَا دَفَّةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ جِدّاً إِلَى حَيْثُمَا شَاءَ قَصْدُ المُدِيرِ.5هَكَذَا اللِّسَانُ أَيْضاً هُوَ عُضْوٌ صَغِيرٌ وَيَفْتَخِرُ مُتَعَظِّماً، هُوَذَا نَارٌ قَلِيلَةٌ أَيَّ وُقُودٍ تُحْرِقُ.6فَاللِّسَانُ نَارٌ، عَالَمُ الإِثْمِ، هَكَذَا جُعِلَ فِي أَعْضَائِنَا اللِّسَانُ الَّذِي يُدَنِّسُ الْجِسْمَ كُلَّهُ وَيُضْرِمُ دَائِرَةَ الْكَوْنِ وَيُضْرَمُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ.7لأَنَّ كُلَّ طَبْعٍ لِلْوُحُوشِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَالزَّحَّافَاتِ وَالْبَحْرِيَّاتِ يُذَلَّلُ وَقَدْ تَذَلَّلَ لِلطَّبْعِ الْبَشَرِيِّ.8وَأَمَّا اللِّسَانُ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ يُذَلِّلَهُ، هُوَ شَرٌّ لاَ يُضْبَطُ مَمْلُوٌّ سُمّاً مُمِيتاً،9بِهِ نُبَارِكُ اللهَ الآبَ وَبِهِ نَلْعَنُ النَّاسَ الَّذِينَ قَدْ تَكَوَّنُوا عَلَى شِبْهِ اللهِ.10مِنَ الْفَمِ الْوَاحِدِ تَخْرُجُ بَرَكَةٌ وَلَعْنَةٌ، لاَ يَصْلُحُ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، أَنْ تَكُونَ هَذِهِ الأُمُورُ هَكَذَا.11أَلَعَلَّ يَنْبُوعاً يُنْبِعُ مِنْ نَفْسِ عَيْنٍ وَاحِدَةٍ الْعَذْبَ وَالمُرَّ؟12هَلْ تَقْدِرُ، يَا إِخْوَتِي، تِينَةٌ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ زَيْتُوناً أَوْ كَرْمَةٌ تِيناً؟ وَلاَ كَذَلِكَ يَنْبُوعٌ يَصْنَعُ مَاءً مَالِحاً وَعَذْباً.

وداعة الحكمة

13مَنْ هُوَ حَكِيمٌ وَعَالِمٌ بَيْنَكُمْ فَلْيُرِ أَعْمَالَهُ بِالتَّصَرُّفِ الْحَسَنِ فِي وَدَاعَةِ الْحِكْمَةِ.14وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ غَيْرَةٌ مُرَّةٌ وَتَحَزُّبٌ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ فَلاَ تَفْتَخِرُوا وَتَكْذِبُوا عَلَى الْحَقِّ.15لَيْسَتْ هَذِهِ الْحِكْمَةُ نَازِلَةً مِنْ فَوْقُ بَلْ هِيَ أَرْضِيَّةٌ نَفْسَانِيَّةٌ شَيْطَانِيَّةٌ.16لأَنَّهُ حَيْثُ الْغَيْرَةُ وَالتَّحَزُّبُ هُنَاكَ التَّشْوِيشُ وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ رَدِيءٍ.17وَأَمَّا الْحِكْمَةُ الَّتِي مِنْ فَوْقُ فَهِيَ أَوَّلاً طَاهِرَةٌ، ثُمَّ مُسَالِمَةٌ، مُتَرَفِّقَةٌ، مُذْعِنَةٌ، مَمْلُوَّةٌ رَحْمَةً وَأَثْمَاراً صَالِحَةً، عَدِيمَةُ الرَّيْبِ وَالرِّيَاءِ.18وَثَمَرُ الْبِرِّ يُزْرَعُ فِي السَّلاَمِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَفْعَلُونَ السَّلاَمَ.
