TSK · James 1:26

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?

Be 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.

¶ To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I 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.

¶ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.

¶ A man shall eat good by the fruit of [his] mouth: but the soul of the transgressors [shall eat] violence.

¶ The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

¶ There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my right hand?

‹But in vain they do worship me, teaching› [for] ‹doctrines the commandments of men.›

‹Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.›

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:

Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if [it be] yet in vain.

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.
