Book of James

[bloodbought09]

James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:6 And 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.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father: and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Thank you kindly.

 

[bloodbought09]

Yeah, go ahead brinny. I just thought I would go through James cuz I need to be reminded how I ought to act in Christ and to boost my message count.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

 

[bloodbought09]

3:16 is the verse I was thinking about on the way home from my lovely girlfriend's house.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

 

[bloodbought09]

James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
