Iivesi zeBhayibhile ezithandwayo ezisuka James 3

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.

And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.

For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.

With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people made in God’s image. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. These things should not be so, my brothers and sisters.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence – and is set on fire by hell.

But no human being can subdue the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.
