James 3:2, 5-6, 10

James 3:2 NCV

We all make many mistakes. If people never said anything wrong, they would be perfect and able to control their entire selves, too.

James 3:5-6 NCV

It is the same with the tongue. It is a small part of the body, but it brags about great things. A big forest fire can be started with only a little flame. And the tongue is like a fire. It is a whole world of evil among the parts of our bodies. The tongue spreads its evil through the whole body. The tongue is set on fire by hell, and it starts a fire that influences all of life.

James 3:10 NCV

Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My brothers and sisters, this should not happen.
