59:003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
59:003:006 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.
59:003:007 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:
59:003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
deadly poison.
59:003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse
we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
59:003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not so to be.
59:003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and
bitter?
59:003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
fresh.
59:003:013 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.
59:003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
not, and lie not against the truth.
