[1] brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive condemnation. [2] For in many things we offend all. offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. [3] we put bits in the horses' mouths, they may obey and we turn about their whole body. [4] Behold also the ships, so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. [5] Even so the tongue a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter fire kindleth! [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: is the tongue among members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
