G3588–ὁ–ho

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.

τὸ to “the”

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.

τῶν tōn “of the”τοὺς tous “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “the”

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.

τὰ ta “the”ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “[of the one] who”

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!

ἡ hē “the”

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.

ἡ hē “the”ὁ ho “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”ἡ hē “The”τοῖς tois “the”ἡ hē “which”τὸ to “the”τὸν ton “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”

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;

τῇ tēa “by the”τῇ tēa “<the>”

But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

τὴν tēn “the”

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.

τὸν ton “the”τοὺς tous “<the>”τοὺς tous “those”

Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.

τοῦ tou “the”

Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?

ἡ hē “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τὸ to “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”

Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

τῆς tēs “the”τὰ ta “the”

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.

τῇ tēa “the”τῆς tēs “the”

This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

ἡ hē “the”

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.

Ἡ Hē “<the>”

And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τοῖς tois “by those”

What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “those”τοῖς tois “the”

You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.

τὸ to “<the>”

You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

ταῖς tais “the”

O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

ἡ hē “the”τοῦ tou “with the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

ἡ hē “the”τὸ to “the”

But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

ὁ ho “<the>”

For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

τῷ tō “<the>”τῷ tō “the”

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

τῷ tō “<the>”

Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

ὁ ho “The”ἡ hē “the”

Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.

τοῦ tou “the”
