  • Jas 3:1-9 : 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, & 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. 9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
