James 3:5-9

5ThusG3779 alsoG2532 the tongueG1100 isG1510 a littleG3398 memberG3196, and boasts greatG3173 thingsG3173. SeeG3708 how littleG3398 a fireG4442, how largeG3173 a wood it kindles!

6and the tongueG1100 [is] fireG4442, the worldG2889 of unrighteousnessG93; the tongueG1100 is setG2525 in our membersG3196, the defiler of the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, and which sets fireG4442 to the course of nature, and is setG2525 on fireG4442 of hellG1067.

7For every species both of beastsG2342 and of birdsG4071, both of creeping thingsG3956 and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the humanG442 species;

8but the tongueG1100 can no oneG3762 among menG444 tame; [it is] an unsettled evilG2556, fullG3324 of death-bringing poison.

9Therewith blessG2127 we the LordG2962 and FatherG3962, and therewith curseG2672 we menG444 made after [the] likeness of 1GodG2316.
