- Original 16th-century spelling.
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
2 For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
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 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
4 Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth.
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 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
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 fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set 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.
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 the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man.
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
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 one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
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 is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
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 ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
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 wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17 But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easie to be intreated, full of mercie and good fruites, without iudging, and without hipocrisie.
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 fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that 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.
