James 3:2-12
<p class="default">2. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 
- Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body. 
- Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 
- 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: 
  <b>8. But the tongue can no man tame, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.</b> 
- Therewith bless we God, even the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 
  <b>10. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.</b> 
- Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 
- Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. </p>
