James 3:2-4

Worldwide English (New Testament)

² We all do many wrong things. Any man who never says anything wrong is right in every way. He is able to make his whole body do what is right.

³ We put a piece of iron in the mouths of horses so they will obey us. Then we can make their whole bodies go where we want them to go.

⁴ Look at the big boats also. They are very big. The strong winds push them along. But a man uses a small piece of wood and makes the boat go where he wants it to go.
