雅各书 3:1-6
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
舌头最难制伏
3 我的弟兄们，不要多人做师傅，因为晓得我们要受更重的判断。 2 原来我们在许多事上都有过失。若有人在话语上没有过失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。 3 我们若把嚼环放在马嘴里，叫它顺服，就能调动他的全身。 4 看哪，船只虽然甚大，又被大风催逼，只用小小的舵就随着掌舵的意思转动。 5 这样，舌头在百体里也是最小的，却能说大话。看哪，最小的火能点着最大的树林！ 6 舌头就是火，在我们百体中舌头是个罪恶的世界，能污秽全身，也能把生命的轮子点起来，并且是从地狱里点着的。

James 3:1-6
Lexham English Bible
Restraining the Tongue
3 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you[a] know that we will receive a greater judgment.[b] 2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual,[c] able to hold in check his whole body also. 3 And if we put bits in the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we also guide their whole bodies. 4 Behold also ships: although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot wishes. 5 So also the tongue is a small member of the body[d] and boasts great things. Behold how small a fire sets ablaze how great a forest! 6 And the tongue is a fire! The world of unrighteousness,[e] the tongue, is set among our members, defiling the whole body and setting on fire the course of human existence[f], being set on fire by hell.
