uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε, καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν

jealousy (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ζῆλον πικρόν ἔχετε καί ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μή κατακαυχᾶσθε καί ψεύδεσθε κατά τῆς ἀληθείας)

James is using the heart to represent the thoughts and emotions. Alternate translation: [you have bitterly envious and ambitious thoughts and feelings]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε, καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν

jealousy (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ζῆλον πικρόν ἔχετε καί ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μή κατακαυχᾶσθε καί ψεύδεσθε κατά τῆς ἀληθείας)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns jealousy and ambition by stating the ideas behind them with equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: [in your heart you resent what other people have and you want to be more successful than anyone else]

τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν

the heart ˱of˲_you_all

Since you and your are plural in this verse, if you retain the metaphor heart in your translation, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of that word. Alternate translation: [your hearts]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ζῆλον πικρόν ἔχετε καί ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μή κατακαυχᾶσθε καί ψεύδεσθε κατά τῆς ἀληθείας)

Since James says in the previous verse that someone who is truly wise will be humble, he could be saying here that if someone claims to be wise but is jealous and ambitious, he is showing that he is actually not wise. Alternate translation: [then do not boast that you are wise, because that would not be true]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας

˓be˒_lying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ζῆλον πικρόν ἔχετε καί ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μή κατακαυχᾶσθε καί ψεύδεσθε κατά τῆς ἀληθείας)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun truth with an adjective such as “true.” Alternate translation: [tell lies that are not true]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας

˓be˒_lying (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Δέ ζῆλον πικρόν ἔχετε καί ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν μή κατακαυχᾶσθε καί ψεύδεσθε κατά τῆς ἀληθείας)

In your language, it might seem that this phrase expresses unnecessary extra information. If so, you could express the same meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [say things that are not true]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:14 The truth is that wisdom cannot be associated with jealousy and selfish ambition. Only in humility can we receive God’s true word (1:18, 21).
