The Untamable Tongue
1 My brethren, alet not many of you become teachers, bknowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.
2 For awe all stumble in many things. bIf anyone does not stumble in word, che is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Indeed, awe put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.
4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.
5 Even so athe tongue is a little member and bboasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!
