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

    3Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

    4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

    5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

    6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
