What is in a Tongue?
Jas 3:3 Behold, we put bits in
the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole
body.
Jas 3:4 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.
Jas 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Jas 3:6 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.
Jas 3:7 For every kind of
beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and
hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8 But the tongue can no
man tame; it is
an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9 Therewith bless we God,
even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude
of God.
Jas 3:10 Out of the same mouth
proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11 Doth a fountain send
forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12 Can the fig tree, my
brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt
water and fresh.
What is the Remedy? : The Wisdom of God.
Jas 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with
knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with
meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter
envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the
truth.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom descendeth
not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16 For where envying and
strife is,
there is
confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is
from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of
mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Jas 3:18 And the fruit of
righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
