lont - James:3:1-12

lont@James:3:1 @ Do not become many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive a severe sentence.

lont@James:3:2 @ For in many things we all offend. If any one offend not in the word, he is a perfect man, able to rule, also, the whole body.

lont@James:3:3 @ Behold, we put bits into the mouths of horses, to make them obedient to us, and we turn about their whole body.

lont@James:3:4 @ Behold, also, the ships, which, though they be so great, and are driven by fierce winds, are turned about by a very small helm, whithersoever the power of the pilot determines:

lont@James:3:5 @ so, also, the tongue is a little member, yet it works mightily. Behold, how much wood a little fire kindles!

lont@James:3:6 @ Now the tongue is a fire-a world of iniquity; the tongue is so placed among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets the wheel of nature in a blaze, and is set on fire from hell.

lont@James:3:7 @ Now every species of wild beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of sea monsters, is subdued, and has been subdued by man:

lont@James:3:8 @ but the tongue of men, no one can subdue; it is an unruly evil thing, full of deadly poison.

lont@James:3:9 @ With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.

lont@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceed a blessing and a curse! My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

lont@James:3:11 @ Does a fountain send forth, from the same opening, sweet water and bitter?

lont@James:3:12 @ Can a fig-tree, my brethren, produces olives; or a vine, figs? So, no fountain can yield salt water and fresh.
