رسالۀ یعقوب رسول

فصل سوم

زبان

۱ای برادران من، درست نیست که بسیاری از شما در کلیسا معلم باشید، چون می دانید که روز داوری برای ما معلمین سخت تر خواهد بود. ۲همۀ ما در چیزهای زیاد مرتکب خطایایی می شویم و کسی که در سخن گفتن خطا نکند، مرد کاملی است و می تواند تمام وجود خود را اداره کند. ۳ما به دهان اسپان دهنه می زنیم تا مُطیع ما شوند و به این وسیله تمام بدن آن ها را به هر طرف که بخواهیم می  گردانیم. ۴همچنین می توان کشتی های بسیار بزرگ را که از بادهای سخت رانده می شوند، با استفاده از سُکان بسیار کوچکی مهار کرد و به هر جا که ناخدا بخواهد، هدایت نمود. ۵زبان هم همین طور است: گرچه عضو کوچکی است، اما ادعا های بزرگ دارد. چه جنگلهای بزرگ که با جَرَقه ای، آتش می گیرند. ۶زبان هم آتش است! در میان تمام اعضای بدن ما زبان دنیایی از شرارت است که همه وجود ما را آلوده می سازد و دوران زندگی را به جهنم سوزانی مبدل می کند. ۷انسان توانسته است و باز هم می تواند تمام حیوانات وحشی و پرندگان و خزندگان و ماهیان را رام کند. ۸ولی هیچکس هرگز نتوانسته است زبان را تحت فرمان خود نگه دارد. زبان، شریر و رام نشدنی و پُر از زهر کشنده است. ۹ما با آن، هم خداوند و پدر را حمد و سپاس می گوئیم و هم انسان را که به صورت خدا آفریده شده است، دشنام می دهیم. ۱۰از یک دهان هم شکر و سپاس شنیده می شود و هم دشنام! ای برادران، این کار درست نیست. ۱۱آیا یک چشمه می تواند از یک شکاف هم آب شیرین و هم آب شور جاری سازد؟ ۱۲ای برادران، آیا درخت انجیر می تواند زیتون و یا درخت انگور، انجیر به بار آورد، همین طور چشمۀ آب شور هم نمی تواند از خود آب شیرین جاری سازد.

حکمت آسمانی

۱۳در میان شما چه کسی عاقل و فهیم است؟ او باید با زندگی و اعمال نیک خود که با تواضع حکمت همراه باشد، آن را نشان دهد. ۱۴اما اگر شما حسود و تندخو و خودخواه هستید، از آن فخر نکنید و بر خلاف حقیقت دروغ نگوئید. ۱۵این حکمت از عالم بالا نیست. این حکمتی است دنیوی، نفسانی و شیطانی. ۱۶چون هر جا حسد و خودخواهی هست، در آنجا بی نظمی و هر نوع شرارت است. ۱۷اما حکمتی که از عالم بالا است اول پاک، بعد صلح جو، با گذشت، مهربان، پُر از شفقت و ثمرات نیکو، بی غرض و بی ریاست. ۱۸نیکی و عدالت میوۀ بذرهایی است که به دست صالحان در صلح و صفا 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.

Strengthening Willpower

Strengthening Willpower (Youth)
Willpower can transform your life and activate your inner strength, which is important for success and spiritual growth. Having or not having these skills is a major factor that leads you to success or failure. This is also very important for all matters, whether trivial or fundamental. A willful person is someone who has a reasonable goal and does not stop pursuing it until it is achieved. Psychological or material problems and obstacles do not harm the will and do not prevent its progress. Most people do not fully understand the subject of willpower and do not know what great power lies behind their willpower. Willpower is an internal skill, but psychological science has proven that both external and internal factors play a role in strengthening or weakening this skill.

Taming the Tongue

Taming the Tongue (James for Everyone)
Why is it so hard to be a teacher? Language can be a fortress for disaster for us. Is it possible for both salt water and us as well as a fresh water to flow from a spring? A person who can control his language is a perfect person.

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.

True and False Wisdom

True and False Wisdom (James for Everyone)
What is the "philosophy of Cynicism"? How many types of wisdom Whatare there? What kind of wisdom do we, as followers of Jesus Christ, make of ourselves? It is not enough to just say darkness is bad, but to walk in the light of a candle so that others can see the legitimacy of our faith.
