1Yo fam, don't let too many of you be the boss, 'cause we gonna get major consequences.

2We all mess up in so many ways. If someone can keep it real with their words, they're basically perfect and can control everything.

3Check it, we put bits in horses' mouths so they listen to us; we can steer their whole vibe.

4Look at ships, right? They’re huge and get tossed by wild winds, but a tiny helm can steer them wherever the captain wants.

5The tongue is small but flexes hard. Just think about how a little spark can start a massive fire!

6The tongue is like a fire, a whole world of chaos; it messes up our whole vibe and ignites all kinds of drama, straight from the abyss.

7Every beast, bird, and sea creature can be tamed by humans, for real.

8But no one can tame the tongue; it’s a wild evil, packed with toxic vibes.

9We use it to bless God, the Father, but then we throw shade at people made in His image.

10From the same mouth come blessings and curses. Fam, this should not be the vibe.

11Can a fountain flow sweet water and bitter water at the same time? Nah.

12Can a fig tree, fam, grow olives? Or a vine, figs? No fountain gives both salty and fresh water.

13Who's the wise one among you? Let them show their good vibes through chill conversations and humble wisdom.

14But if you got jealousy and drama in your hearts, don’t flex and lie about the truth.

15This wisdom ain't from above; it's earthly, all about the feels, and kinda sus.

16Where there’s jealousy and drama, confusion and every bad vibe follow.

17But wisdom from above is pure, chill, gentle, and easy to vibe with, packed with mercy and good fruits, no bias, no cap.

18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

2For 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.

3Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

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

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