نامۀ یعقوب رسول

فصل سوم

زبان انسان مانند آتش است

۱ ای عزیزان! نباید همۀ تان در کلیسا معلم باشید، زیرا می دانید که روز داوری برای ما معلمان سخت تر خواهد بود. ۲ ما همه اشتباه می کنیم اما اگر کسی در سخن گفتن اشتباه نمی کند، انسان کامل است که می تواند بر تمام بدن خود تسلط داشته باشد. ۳ ما به دهن اسپ، لگام و تسمه می بندیم تا از ما اطاعت کند و با این وسیلۀ کوچک تمام بدن اسپ را به هر طرف که بخواهیم می گردانیم. ۴ همچنان به کشتیهای بسیار بزرگ ببینید که در بادهای شدید با استفاده از یک آلۀ بسیار کوچک که در زیر کشتی قرار دارد، هدایت می شوند و به هر جا که کشتیران بخواهد، آن را می برد. ۵ زبان هم همین طور است، اگر چه عضو بسیار کوچک است اما ادعاهای بزرگ دارد. جنگلهای بزرگ را تصور کنید که با یک جَرَقه می توانند آتش بگیرند. ۶ زبان هم مانند آتش است! دنیایی پُر از شرارت در وجود ما که تمام وجود ما را آلوده می سازد. زبان تمام امور زندگی ما را به آتش می کشاند و این آتش از دوزخ است. ۷ در طبیعت تمام حیوانات وحشی، پرنده گان، خزنده گان و ماهیها به وسیلۀ انسان رام می شوند ۸ ولی انسان هرگز نتوانسته است که زبان خود را رام سازد و زیر فرمان خود نگهدارد. زبان، شریر و رام نشدنی و پُر از زهر کُشنده است. ۹ با زبان خود خداوند یعنی پدر آسمانی را ستایش می کنیم و با همان زبان، انسانی را که به صورت خدا آفریده شده است، دشنام می دهیم. ۱۰ از یک دهان هم ستایش شنیده می شود و هم دشنام! دوستان عزیز! این کار درست نیست. ۱۱ آیا امکان دارد که از یک چشمه هم آب شیرین و هم آب شور جاری شود؟ ۱۲ ای عزیزان! آیا درخت انجیر می تواند زیتون و یا تاک انگور انجیر حاصل بدهد؟ همین طور یک چشمۀ آب شور هم نمی تواند از خود آب شیرین جاری سازد.

حکمت آسمانی و حکمت دنیوی

۱۳ آیا در میان شما شخص دانا و با حکمت وجود دارد؟ اگر است، او باید گفتار و کردار نیک خود را با فروتنی و حکمت نشان دهد. ۱۴ اما اگر شما بی اندازه حسادت دارید و خود خواه هستید، به آن افتخار نکنید و بر خلاف حقیقت دروغ نگویید. ۱۵ چنین حکمت از عالم بالا نیست بلکه حکمت دنیوی، نفسانی و شیطانی است. ۱۶ زیرا در جایی که حسادت و خودخواهی وجود دارد، در همانجا بی نظمی و هر نوع شرارت دیگر نیز موجود است. ۱۷ اما حکمتی که از عالم بالاست، اول پاک، بعد مسالمت آمیز، با گذشت، نصیحت پذیر، پُر از رحمت، دارای ثمرات نیکو و بی طرف و بی ریا است. ۱۸ پس میوۀ عدالت از دانه یی سر می زند که به دست صلح جویان در صلح و سلامتی کاشته می شود.

Rebuke (Youth)
Blaming others is one of the defence mechanisms to avoid responsibility. Blaming others is one of the very bad habits, and there are many people who have this habit, and in this case, they can hurt others with this behaviour, and this harassment can sometimes lead to the loss of the other party and cause problems for you.

Who Should Be Afraid Of?

Who Should Be Afraid Of? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Christian believers are not afraid of evil and humans; Except God. Because only humans and evil spirits destroy the body. But God alone is the owner of the body and soul, who will be sent to hell and who will be given eternal life. So we should take care of our daily life, including language control; Sit; Do not get up so that we will be thrown into hell.

The Tongue

The Tongue (With You)
An uncontrolled tongue is like a fire under ashes, which has destructive power—like a dormant fire that slowly burns and destroys its surroundings and turns everything into ashes. The tongue has enormous power. A small word can build our family and friends. But if our tongue is not under control, it will tear apart our family and friends. A tongue that is not under control is easily used by Satan.

Is It a Sin to Speak Ill of Others?

Is It a Sin to Speak Ill of Others? (Peace and Joy in Christ)
Many people are like two tongues. For they worship God with one tongue, but immediately after the meeting is over, they slander and gossip about their brothers and sisters behind their backs. They bless and curse from the same mouth! Brothers, it is not right for this to happen. Let us not deceive ourselves! God will never answer the seemingly sweet prayer of one who speaks evil of his brother behind his back. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar. If a person’s speech is bitter, disgusting, and bitter, his heart will also be filled with bitterness and evil. A person can pretend to be good and sweet for a while, but after a while the evil of his heart will be revealed by the words of his tongue.

The Dangers of the Tongue

The Dangers of the Tongue (With You)
If we can control our tongues, we can live harmoniously in our society. If we do not have mastery over our tongue, it creates enmity and hurt feelings. As they say, any kind of wound can heal, except one caused by the tongue. If we rule our tongues, we will not offend anyone or hurt their feelings. But if we do not have control over our tongues, our enemies will increase every day. This is because the tongue has great destructive power. The worst trait for a person is a sharp and uncontrolled tongue because they speak without thinking or caring.

The Impact of Tongue

The Impact of Tongue (The Epistle of James: Faith That Works)
James 3:1-12 teaches us of the importance of tongue. If we can manage our tongue, we can manage and get under control all of our body. These verses give us great examples of how our tongue can bring blessings or curses to us and to others. As Christians we should not use our tongue to hurt others or to say bad things about others. We need to practice to be patient and to use our tongue for good and to bless others. In Christ, we are a new creation, which means our hearts have been changed and our behaviour and tongue have been changed too.

Heavenly Wisdom

Heavenly Wisdom (The Epistle of James: Faith That Works)
James 3:13-18 tells us that if we are wise and understand God’s ways, we should prove it by living an honourable life and by doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. First, we receive heavenly wisdom by believing in Jesus as our Lord, then we show God’s wisdom with humility. This means we get heavenly wisdom not by our works or abilities but because of God’s grace through faith in the Lord Jesus.
