James 3:1-4 ▼

1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a stricter judgment.

2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body.

3 Now if we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we direct their whole bodies.

4 And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
