James:3:5-10

Seeker Overlay ON

* Even so the tongue is a little member , and boasteth great things . Behold , how great a matter a little fire kindleth ! * And the tongue is a fire , a world of iniquity : so is the tongue 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 . * For every kind of beasts , and of birds , and of serpents , and of things in the sea , is tamed , and hath been tamed of mankind : * But the tongue can no man tame ; it is an unruly evil , full of deadly poison . * Therewith bless we God , even the Father ; and therewith curse we men , which are made after the similitude of God . * Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing . My brethren , these things ought not so to be .
