James 3:2–4

²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

²⁶If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.

³He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

³He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but hee that openeth wide his lips, shall haue destruction.

¹⁰For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

¹⁰For hee that will loue life, and see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euil, and his ^*lips that they speake no guile:

³⁷For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

³⁷For by thy wordes thou shalt bee iustified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

¹³Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

¹³Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lippes from speaking guile.

⁵Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

⁶And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

⁵Euen so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things: behold, how great ^‖a matter a litle fire kindleth.

⁶And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquitie: so is the tongue amongst our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell.

⁹Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

^9*Who can say, I haue made my heart cleane, I am pure from my sinne?

⁸If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

⁸If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.

⁹If we confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull, & iust to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to cleanse vs from all vnrighteousnesse.

¹⁰If we say that we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.

²⁰For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

^20*For there is not a iust man vpon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one:

⁴But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

⁴But let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect, and entier, wanting nothing.

⁴⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

⁴⁶If they sinne against thee, ( ^*for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliuer them to the enemy, so that they cary them away captiues, vnto the land of the enemy, farre or neere;

²⁷But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

²⁷But I keepe vnder my body, and bring it into subiection: lest that by any meanes when I haue preached to others, I my selfe should be a castaway.

¹⁰For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

¹⁰For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Law, & yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

²⁸Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

²⁸Whom we preach, warning euery man, and teaching euery man in all wisedome, that we may present euery man perfect in Christ Iesus.

⁶But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

^6*But we are al as an vncleane thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy ragges, and we all doe fade as a leafe, and our iniquities like the wind haue taken vs away.

³⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

³⁶If they sinne against thee (for there is ^*no man which sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliuer them ouer before their enemies, and ^†they cary them away captiues vnto a land far off or neere:

¹²Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

¹²Epaphras, who is one of you, a seruant of Christ, saluteth you, alwaies ^‖labouring feruently for you in praiers, that ye may stand perfect, and ^‖complete in all the will of God.

²¹Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²¹Make you perfect in euery good worke to doe his will, ^‖working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Iesus Christ, to whom be glorie for euer and euer. Amen.

¹⁰But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹⁰But the God of all grace who hath called vs into his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

²²But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

²²But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by faith of Iesus Christ might be giuen to them that beleeue.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

¹⁷For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would.

²¹I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

²¹I find then a Law, that when I would do good, euil is present with me.

⁹Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

^9*Be yee not as the horse, or as the mule which haue no vnderstanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, least they come neere vnto thee.

¹I SAID, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

¹¶ I sayd, I will take heede to my waies, that I sinne not with my tongue: I will keepe my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

²⁶If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.

²⁶If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.

²⁸Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁸Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult is come vp into mine eares, therefore I will put my hooke in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turne thee backe by the way by which thou camest.

²⁹Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁴And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

^24*And behold, there arose a great tempest in the Sea, insomuch that the ship was couered with the waues: but he was asleepe.

¹⁴But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁶And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁷Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

¹⁸And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁹And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

²¹But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.

²³For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

²⁴Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

²⁶Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

²⁸And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

²⁹Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

³⁰And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

³²Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

³³And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

³⁴Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

³⁵And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

³⁶Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

³⁷And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

³⁸And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

¹⁴But not long after, there ^‖arose against it a tempestuous winde, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵And when the ship was caught, and could not beare vp into the winde, we let her driue.

¹⁶And running vnder a certaine yland, which is called Clauda, wee had much worke to come by the boate:

¹⁷Which when they had taken vp, they vsed helps, vnder-girding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicke-sands, strake saile, and so were driuen.

¹⁸And being exceedingly tossed with a tempest the next day, they lightened the ship:

¹⁹And the third day we cast out with our owne handes the tackling of the shippe.

²⁰And when neither Sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay on vs; all hope that wee should be saued, was then taken away.

²¹But after long abstinence, Paul stood foorth in the middes of them, and said, Sirs, yee should haue hearkened vnto mee, and not haue loosed from Creete, and to haue gained this harme and losse.

²²And now I exhort you to be of good cheere: for there shall be no losse of any mans life among you, but of the shippe.

²³For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serue,

²⁴Saying, Feare not Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and loe, God hath giuen thee all them that saile with thee.

²⁵Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheere: for I beleeue God, that it shall be euen as it was tolde me.

²⁶Howbeit, we must be cast vpon a certaine Iland.

²⁷But when the fourteenth night was come, as wee were driuen vp and downe in Adria about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they drew neere to some countrey:

²⁸And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded againe, and found it fifteene fathoms.

²⁹Then fearing lest we should haue fallen vpon rockes, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished for the day.

³⁰And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let downe the boat into the sea, vnder colour as though they would haue cast ancres out of the fore-ship,

³¹Paul said to the Centurion, and to the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saued.

³²Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

³³And while the day was comming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, hauing taken nothing.

³⁴Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat, for this is for your health: for there shall not an haire fall from the head of any of you.

³⁵And when hee had thus spoken, hee tooke bread, and gaue thankes to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it, he began to eate.

³⁶Then were they all of good cheere, and they also tooke some meat.

³⁷And we were in all, in the ship, two hundred, threescore and sixteene soules.

³⁸And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.

^25†For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy winde: which lifteth vp the waues thereof.

²⁶They mount vp to the heauen: they goe downe againe to the depthes: their soule is melted because of trouble.

^27†They reele to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man; and are at their wits end.

⁴¶ But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.

⁴¶ But the LORD ^†sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship ^†was like to be broken.
