Língua

A língua tem poder de vida e de morte. A Bíblia compara a língua ao leme de um navio e à faísca que incendeia uma floresta. Dominar a língua é prova de maturidade espiritual.

O poder da língua

A morte e a vida estão no poder da língua. Quem a domina é varão perfeito, capaz de controlar todo o corpo.

Cabangani ngehlathi elikhulu elithungelwa yinhlansi encane yomlilo. 6 Ulimi lalo lungumlilo, umhlaba wobubi phakathi kwezitho zomzimba. Lungcolisa lonke uqobo lomuntu, luyithungele ngomlilo yonke impilo yakhe, lalo luthungelwe yisihogo somlilo.

Lomthombo oletswayi awungeke ukhuphe amanzi amnandi.
