James 3:6-10
6And 1the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, the very worldG2889 of iniquityG93; the tongueG1100 is setG2525 amongG1722 our membersG3196 as that which 2defilesG4695 the entireG3650 bodyG4983, and setsG5394 on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of our 3lifeG1078, and is setG5394 on fireG5394 by 45hellG1067.
7For everyG3956 6speciesG5449 of beastsG2342 and birdsG4071, of reptilesG2062 and creaturesG1724 of the seaG1724, is tamedG1150 and has been tamedG1150 by the humanG442 7raceG5449.
8But noG3762 oneG3762G444 canG1410 tameG1150 the tongueG1100; it is a restlessG182 evilG2556 and fullG3324 of 8deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
9With it we blessG2127 9our LordG2962 and FatherG3962, and with it we curseG2672 menG444, 10who have beenG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3669 of GodG2316;
10from the sameG846 mouthG4750 comeG1831 both blessingG2129 and cursingG2671. My brethrenG80, theseG3778 thingsG3778 oughtG5534 not to be thisG3779 wayG3779.
