<center>''Do not in haste or in arrogance reprove others. The importance of controlling the tongue. How true wisdom will manifest itself.</center>

'''1''' My brethren, be not many masters,<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 23|Matt 23:10]]</ref> knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

'''2''' 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.

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

'''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.

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

'''6''' And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 15|Matt 15:18]]</ref> 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.<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 5|Matt 5:22, 29, 30]]</ref><ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 10|Matt 10:28]]</ref><ref>[[Mark, Chapter 9|Mark 9:43]]</ref><ref>[[Luke, Chapter 12|Luke 12:5]]</ref>

'''7''' For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed,<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 9|Gen 9:2]]</ref><ref>[[Hosea, Chapter 2|Hos 2:18]]</ref> and hath been tamed of mankind:

'''8''' But the tongue can no man tame; ''it is'' an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

'''9''' Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 1|Gen 1:27]]</ref><ref>[[1st Corinthians, Chapter 11|1st Cor 11:7]]</ref><ref>[[Ephesians, Chapter 4|Eph 4:24]]</ref><ref>[[Colossians, Chapter 3|Col 3:10]]</ref>

'''10''' Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

'''11''' Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet ''water'' and bitter?

'''12''' Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? ''so can'' no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

'''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.

'''14''' But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

'''15''' This wisdom descendeth not from above, but ''is'' earthly, sensual, devilish.

'''16''' For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

'''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.

'''18''' And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
