James 3:1-4 ▼

1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others.

2 For all of us make many mistakes. If someone does not make any mistakes when he speaks, he is perfect and able to control his whole body.

3 Now if we put bits into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies as well.

4 And look at ships! They are so big that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder wherever the helmsman directs.
