James:3:5-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Even so the tongue is (
5748 )
a little member ,
and boasteth great things (
5719 ).
Behold (
5628 ),
how great a matter a little fire kindleth (
5719 )!
*
And the tongue is a fire ,
a world of iniquity :
so is (
5743 )
the tongue among our members ,
that it defileth (
5723 )
the whole body ,
and setteth on fire (
5723 )
the course of nature ;
and it is set on fire (
5746 )
of hell .
*
For every kind of beasts ,
and of birds ,
and of serpents ,
and of things in the sea ,
is tamed (
5743 ),
and hath been tamed (
5769 )
of mankind :
*
But the tongue can (
5736 )
no man tame (
5658 );
it is an unruly evil ,
full of deadly poison .
*
Therewith bless we (
5719 )
God ,
even the Father ;
and therewith curse we (
5736 )
men ,
which are made (
5756 )
after the similitude of God .
