American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
{Or, Know ye}Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
If any man {Or, seemeth to be}thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your {Or, servant}minister;
and whosoever would be first among you shall be your {Greek: bondservant.}servant:
But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
if any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion {Greek: unto the ages of the ages.}for ever and ever. Amen.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
