If anyone does not stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in horses' mouths so that they may obey us; and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at the ships, which, though they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned with a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so the tongue is among our members, that it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast, and of bird, and of serpent, and of things in the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
