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

This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted 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 judgement 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.
