James 3:1-3

The Voice

3 My brothers and sisters, do not encourage a large number of you to become teachers because teachers will be held to a higher standard. ² We all stumble along the way. If a person never speaks hurtful words or shouts in anger or profanity, then he has achieved perfection. The one who can control his tongue can also control the rest of his body. ³ It’s like when we place a metal bit into a horse’s mouth to ride it; we can control its entire body with the slightest movement of our hands.
