James 3:1-2
New Matthew Bible
What good and evil comes through the tongue. The duty of the learned. The difference between the wisdom of the gospel and the wisdom of the world.
3 My brethren, be not every man a counsellor, remembering that we will receive the stricter judgment. 2 For in many things, we all sin.
If a person does not sin in word, he is a perfect man, and able to tame all the body.
