WORD Research this...James 3
- 1 Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.
- 2 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.
- 3 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.
- 4 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.
- 5 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!
- 6 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.
- 7 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;
- 8 But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.
- 9 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.
- 10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, it is not right for these things to be so.
- 11 Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?
- 12 Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?
- 13 Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.
- 14 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.
- 15 This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.
- 16 For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
- 17 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.
- 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
