James 3:5-8 So the tongue also is a little member, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much matter a little fire kindleth.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ So the tongue also is a little member, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much matter a little fire kindleth. ⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: it is the tongue among the members which defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell. ⁷ For every kind both of wild beasts and of birds, both of reptiles and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. ⁸ But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
