雅各書第3章 |
|
1 兄弟勿好爲人師、知爲師者、被鞫尤嚴、 |
|
2 吾衆數蹈於愆、言語無愆者、是爲德備之人、能自範其身、 |
|
3 我置勒馬口、使馬馴服、駕馭無不如志、 |
|
4 雖有巨舟、爲狂風動盪、而小舵得以運轉、隨舟子指揮、 |
|
5 舌雖小而能誇大、薪甚多、微火可燃、 |
|
6 舌如火、在百體中、能玷一身、不義孰甚、賦畀之性、亦爲所爇、是其焰由地獄起、 |
|
7 禽獸昆蟲鱗介、皆受制於人、 |
|
8 惟舌無可制、誠爲兇悍、舌猶酖毒、足必殺人、 |
|
9 父上帝、我以舌祝之、世人被造、與上帝彷彿、我以舌詛之、 |
|
10 祝與詛、均由口出、兄弟乎、勿如是、 |
|
11 譬彼源泉、其甘苦能共一穴乎、 |
|
12 兄弟試思無花巢樹、能生橄欖乎、葡萄樹、能生無花果乎、水之鹹淡、不並出一源亦若是、 |
|
13 爾中若有睿智特識、則必以温柔智慧、彰其善行、 |
|
14 如心懷嫉狠忿戾、則勿自矜、冒稱眞理、 |
|
15 此智非由上來、乃屬斯世血氣所激、魔鬼所迷、 |
|
16 有媢嫉、爭鬬、則必作亂、行惡貫盈、 |
|
17 由上之智、卽廉潔、和平、温良、寬恕、恆存矜恤善行、絕諸偏視僞爲、 |
|
18 行和平者、種和平也、必結善果、 |
JamesChapter 3 |
|
1 MY brethren, do not allow doubtful teachers among you; but know, that we are under a great judgment. |
|
2 For in many things we all stumble. Anyone who does not offend in word, this one is a perfect man, and able also to subdue his whole body. |
|
3 Behold, we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. |
|
4 Behold also the ships, great as they are, when driven by severe winds, they are turned about with a very small rudder, wherever the pilot wishes. |
|
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Likewise, a small fire sets ablaze the large forests. |
|
6 The tongue is a fire, and the sinful world like a forest: that very tongue, while it is among our members, can defile our whole body, and set on fire the records of our race which have rolled down from the beginning: and in the end it is consumed by fire. |
|
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of creatures of the sea and of the land are under the subjugation of the will of man. |
|
8 But the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. |
|
9 By it we bless the LORD and the Father; and by it we curse men, who are made in the image of God: |
|
10 Out of the same mouth proceed curses and blessings. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
|
11 Can there spring forth from the same fountain, both sweet water and bitter water? |
|
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olives? Or the vine, figs? likewise also salt water cannot be made sweet. |
|
13 Who is wise among you and has training? let him prove his words by his good deeds, in the humbleness of wisdom. |
|
14 But if you have bitter envying among you, or strife in your hearts, do not boast and do not lie against the truth. |
|
15 This wisdom does not come from above, but it is earthly, sensual, devilish. |
|
16 For wherever envy and strife are, there is confusion and every sort of evil. |
|
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure then full of peace, and gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. |
|
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by the peacemakers. |
