James 3:5-9
5EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG3588G1100 isG1510 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG3708, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381!
6AndG2532 the tongueG3588G1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG3588G2889 of iniquityG3588G93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG3588G1100 amongG1722 ourG1473 membersG3588G3196, that it defilethG3588G4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG3588G4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG3588G5164 of natureG3588G1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG3588G1067.
7ForG1063 everyG3956 kindG5449 of beastsG2342, andG2532 of birdsG4071, andG5037 of serpentsG2062, andG2532 of things in the seaG1724, is tamedG1150, andG2532 hath been tamedG1150 of mankindG442:
8ButG1161 the tongueG1100 canG1410 noG3762 manG444 tameG1150; it is an unrulyG183 evilG2556, fullG3324 of deadlyG2287 poisonG2447.
9TherewithG846 bless weG2127 GodG3588G2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962; andG2532 therewithG846 curse weG2672 menG3588G444, whichG3588 are madeG1096 afterG2596 the similitudeG3669 of GodG2316.
