James 3:2-4

2For we allG537 1stumbleG4417 in manyG4183 ways. 2IfG1487 anyoneG5100 does not stumbleG4417 in 3whatG3056 he saysG3056, he is a 4perfectG5046 manG435, ableG1415 to 56reinG5468 inG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 asG2532 wellG2532.

3NowG1161 7ifG1487 we putG906 the bitsG5469 into the horses’G2462 mouthsG4750 soG1519 thatG1519 they will obeyG3982 us, we directG3329 their wholeG3650 bodyG4983 asG2532 wellG2532.

4LookG2400 at the shipsG4143 tooG2532: though they are soG5082 largeG5082 and are drivenG1643 by strongG4642 windsG417, they are nevertheless directedG3329 by a veryG1646 smallG1646 rudderG4079 whereverG3699 the inclinationG3730 of the pilotG2116 determinesG1014.
