James 3:5-9
5In the same wayG3779G2532, theG3588 tongueG1100 isG1510 a smallG3398 part of the bodyG3196, but it boasts ofG3166 great thingsG3173. ConsiderG2400 how smallG2245 a sparkG4442 setsG381 a greatG2245 forest ablazeG5208. 6TheG3588 tongueG1100 alsoG2532 is a fireG4442, aG3588 worldG2889 of wickednessG93 amongG2525G1722 theG3588 partsG3196 of theG1473 body. It pollutesG4695 theG3588 wholeG3650 personG4983, setsG5394 theG3588 courseG5164 of his life on fireG1078, andG2532 is itself set on fireG5394 byG5259 hellG1067.1
AllG3956 kindsG5449 of animalsG2342, birdsG4071, reptilesG2062, andG2532 creatures of the seaG1724 are being tamedG1150 andG2532 have been tamedG1150 byG3588 manG442G5449, 8butG1161 noG3762 manG444 canG1410 tameG1150 theG3588 tongueG1100. It is a restlessG182 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
9WithG1722 the tongue we blessG2127 ourG3588 LordG2962 andG2532 FatherG3962, andG2532 withG1722 itG846 we curseG2672 menG444, whoG3588 have been madeG1096 inG2596 God’sG2316 likenessG3669.
