Di Fire Wey Nobody Fit Tame
Teachers go face stricter judgment, and di reason na di tongue: rudder, spark, poison wey nobody fit tame. Di same mouth dey bless our Papa and dey curse people wey dem make like am. True wisdom dey show for peaceful, merciful behaviour, no be bitter ambition.
3 1My brothers and sisters, make no be plenty of una become teacher, because we wey be teacher go face judgment wey pass. 2Because all of us dey stumble for plenty way. Anybody wey no dey stumble for wetin e talk na mature man, wey fit control im whole body too. 3If we put iron for horse mouth make e obey us, we dey guide im whole body too. 4Look ship too: even though e big and strong wind dey push am, na small rudder dey turn am go anywhere wey di pilot want. 5Na so di tongue too be small body part, but e dey brag big-big tin. See how small fire fit burn big forest! 6Di tongue na fire, world of wickedness wey dey among di parts of our body. E dey stain di whole body, dey set di whole course of life on fire, and na hell dey set am on fire. a a v6 Gehenna na di Valley of Hinnom wey dey outside Jerusalem, place wey dem dey burn rubbish, wey come turn to picture of di final judgment — here, na hell imself. 7Every kind of animal, bird, tin wey dey crawl, and creature for sea, man don tame am, and dem don tame am, 8but no human being fit tame di tongue. E be evil wey no dey rest, e full of poison wey dey kill. 9With am we dey bless our Papa; with am we dey curse people wey dem make for di likeness of our Papa. 10For di same mouth, blessing and curse dey comot. My brothers and sisters, dis one no suppose be so. 11Abi one spring fit pour sweet water and bitter water comot for di same place? 12Brothers and sisters, fig tree fit bear olive? Abi grapevine fit bear fig? Na so salt spring no fit give sweet water.
Wisdom Wey Comot For Up
13Who dey wise and get understanding among una? Make e show im work through good character, for di humility wey wisdom dey bring. 14But if bitter envy and selfish ambition full your heart, no brag or lie against di truth. 15Dis one no be di wisdom wey dey comot for up, but na earthly, no be spiritual, na demonic. 16Because for where jealousy and selfish ambition dey, disorder and every kind of bad tin go dey. 17Wisdom wey comot for up: e pure first, then e dey love peace, e gentle, e dey reason well, e full of mercy and good fruit, e no dey take side, e dey sincere. 18And di harvest of correct-and-holy way, na for peace people wey dey make peace dey plant am.
