口舌能夠定生死，多嘴多言食惡果。

因為我們在許多方面難免有過失。如果誰在言語上沒有過失，他就是純全的人，也能在各方面保持自制。我們如果把嚼環放在馬嘴裡，便可以使牠順服，駕馭牠。一艘大船在遭遇暴風吹襲時，船身雖然龐大，但舵手只要操縱一個小小的舵，就能隨意駕駛它。同樣，人的舌頭雖然很小，卻能說誇大的話。看啊，小火星能點燃大森林。舌頭就是火，是我們身體上的一個充滿邪惡的世界，能玷污人的全身，足以毀掉人的一生，它是從地獄點燃的火。自然界中的各類走獸、飛禽、爬蟲、水族都可以被馴服，也已經被人類馴服了，但無人能馴服自己的舌頭，因為舌頭是個無法控制的邪惡之物，充滿了致命的毒氣。我們用舌頭來讚美主和天父，也用舌頭來咒詛照著上帝的形像被造的人。讚美和咒詛竟然從同一張嘴裡發出來。我的弟兄姊妹，這是不應該的！同一個泉源能湧出甜苦兩樣水嗎？我的弟兄姊妹，無花果樹能結出橄欖嗎？葡萄樹能結出無花果嗎？一個鹹水泉必流不出甜水來。你們當中誰是有智慧、有見識的呢？請他帶著來自智慧的謙和，在善行上表現出來。
