Jakobus 3
- 1 Moenie baie leermeesters wees nie, my broeders, omdat julle weet dat ons 'n groter oordeel sal ondergaan.
- 2 Want ons almal struikel dikwels. As iemand in woorde nie struikel nie, is hy 'n volmaakte man, in staat om ook die hele liggaam in toom te hou.
- 3 Kyk, ons sit stange in die perde se bekke, sodat hulle ons gehoorsaam kan wees, en ons stuur hulle hele liggaam daarmee.
- 4 Kyk, ook die skepe, alhoewel hulle so groot is en deur hewige winde voortgedryf word, word gestuur deur 'n baie klein roer net waarheen die stuurman wil.
- 5 Net so is die tong ook 'n klein lid en beroem hom op groot dinge — kyk hoe 'n groot hoop hout steek 'n klein vuurtjie aan die brand.
- 6 Die tong is ook 'n vuur, die wêreld van ongeregtigheid. Net so 'n plek neem die tong onder ons lede in; dit besmet die hele liggaam en steek die hele lewensloop aan die brand en word uit die hel aangesteek.
- 7 Want elke soort natuur van wilde diere en voëls en kruipende sowel as seediere word getem en is getem deur die menslike natuur.
- 8 Maar die tong kan geen mens tem nie; dit is 'n onbedwingbare kwaad, vol dodelike gif.
- 9 Daarmee loof ons God en die Vader, en daarmee vervloek ons die mense wat na die gelykenis van God gemaak is.
- 10 Uit dieselfde mond kom seën en vervloeking. Dit, my broeders, behoort nie so te wees nie.
- 11 'n Fontein laat tog nie uit dieselfde oog vars en bitter water opborrel nie?
- 12 'n Vyeboom, my broeders, kan tog nie olywe voortbring, of 'n wingerdstok vye nie? So kan geen fontein brak en vars water voortbring nie.
- 13 Wie is wys en verstandig onder julle? Laat hom uit sy goeie lewenswandel sy werke in sagmoedige wysheid toon.
- 14 Maar as julle bittere afguns en selfsug in julle hart het, moenie roem en lieg teen die waarheid nie.
- 15 Dít is nie die wysheid wat van bo kom nie, maar is aards, natuurlik, duiwels;
- 16 want waar afguns en selfsug is, daar is wanorde en allerhande gemene dade.
- 17 Maar die wysheid van bo is ten eerste rein, dan vredeliewend, vriendelik, geseglik, vol barmhartigheid en goeie vrugte, onpartydig en ongeveins.
- 18 En die vrug van die geregtigheid word gesaai in vrede vir die wat vrede maak.

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.
