James 3:1-8

James 3:1-8

1
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2
We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
3

4

5

6

7
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8
but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
