James 3:2-4
2For we all 1stumble in many ways. 2If anyone does not stumble in 3what he says, he is a 4perfect man, able to 56rein in the whole body as well.
3Now 7if we put the bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their whole body as well.
4Look at the ships too: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are nevertheless directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot determines.
