OET-LV YAC Chapter 3

Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3 Not many teachers be _becoming, brothers of _me, having _known that greater judgment we _will _be _receiving.
2 For/Because in _many ways we _are _stumbling all.
If anyone in ^his_message not is _stumbling, this a_perfect man is, powerful to _bridle also all his body.
3 And, if of _the horses the bridles into the mouths we _are _putting, in _order that to _be _being _persuaded them to _us, also all the body of _them we _are _directing.
4 Behold, also the ships, so _great being, and by winds hard being _driven, is _being _directed by the_least rudder, wherever the impulse of _the one straightening is _wishing.
5 Thus also the tongue a_small member is, and great things is _boasting.
Behold, how _much fire, how _much a_forest is _kindling.
6 And the tongue is a_fire, the world of_ the _unrighteousness, the tongue is _being _set _down among the members of _us, which staining all the body, and setting _on _fire the course of_ the _existence, and being _set _on _fire by the geenna.
7 For/Because every nature of _wild _beasts both and of _birds, of _reptiles both and of _sea creatures, is _being _tamed and has _been _tamed by _the nature the human, 8 but the tongue no _one to _tame is _able of_the_people, an_unstable evil, full of _poison deadly.
9 In it we _are _blessing our master and father, and in it we _are _cursing the people, the ones according _to the_likeness of_god having _become.
10 Out _of the same mouth is _coming _out blessing and curse.
Not is _ought brothers of _me these things thus to _be _becoming.
11 Surely _not the spring out _of of _the same hole is _outflowing the sweet and the bitter?
12 Not is _able, brothers of _me, a_fig _tree olives to _produce or a_vine figs?
Nor salt sweet to _produce water.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you _all?
Him _let _show out _of his good conduct the works of _him in the_gentleness of _wisdom.
14 But if jealousy bitter you _all _are _having, and selfish _ambition in the heart of _you _all, not be _boasting and be _lying against the truth.
15 Not is this the wisdom from _above coming _down, but earthly, soulish, demonic.
16 For/Because where jealousy and selfish _ambition is, there is disturbance and every evil matter.
17 But the from _above wisdom, first indeed pure is, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of _mercy and of _fruits good, unceasing, unhypocritical.
18 And the_fruit of _righteousness in peace is _being _sown, by _the ones making peace.
