  • James 3:2-13
    For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body.Now if we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we direct their whole bodies.And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how a small fire sets ablaze a large forest.And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among our members. It stains the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.Every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and fish is tamed and has been tamed by humankind,but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness.Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.Does a spring pour out sweet and bitter water from the same opening?Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater spring yield fresh water.Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.
