My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
For 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.
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
James 3:
James 3:3-
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Behold 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.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
And 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.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James 4:
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
