James:3:2-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For in many things we offend (
5719 )
all .
If any man offend (
5719 )
not in word ,
the same is a perfect man ,
and able also to bridle (
5658 )
the whole body .
*
Behold (
5628 ),
we put (
5719 )
bits in the horses mouths ,
that they may obey (
5745 )
us ;
and we turn about (
5719 )
their whole body .
*
Behold (
5628 )
also the ships ,
which though they be (
5752 )
so great ,
and are driven (
5746 )
of fierce winds ,
yet are they turned about (
5743 )
with a very small helm ,
whithersoever the governor (
5723 )
listeth (
5741 ).
*
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 .
