James 3:1-8

James 3:1-8

1
Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
2
For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.
3
For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us: and we turn about their whole body.
4
Behold also ships, whereas they are great and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.
5
Even so the tongue is indeed a little member and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
7
For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of the rest is tamed and hath been tamed, by the nature of man.
8
But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.
