Santiago 3 Biblia en inglés básico
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), en inglés, leído por Winfred W. Henson · Sobre las grabaciones
1 Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
2 For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.
2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
4 And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.
4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
5 Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
6 And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.
6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
7 For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8 But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
13 Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
15 This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17 But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
"I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?" At times I read and hear: "My brethren, be not many masters, seeing that ye shall receive the greater condemnation: for in many things we offend all." "I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?" But see, I rise and open.
