James 3:1-8 (ASV) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

Be not manyof youteachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

2

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

3

Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

4

Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

5

So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!

6

And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.

7

For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:

8

but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.
