James 3:1-8

1
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
2
For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
3
Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
4
Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth.
5
Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
6
And the tongue is fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell.
7
For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man.
8
But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
