Tiago 3

5 So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things.  * 3:5 Ps 12:3–4; 73:8–9 Consider how a small fire sets ablaze a large forest. 6 And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed  * 3:6 Or places itself, or appoints itself among our members. It stains the whole body,  * 3:6 Ps 120:2–3; Pr 16:27; Mt 15:11,18 sets the course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
