James 3:3 ASV

¹  Be not many 'of you' teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.

²  For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

³  Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.

⁴  Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.

⁵  So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
