JAMES 3:1

My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall 

receive a stricter judgment.

JAMES 3:2

2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, 

able also to bridle the whole body.

JAMES 3:3

3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.

JAMES 3:4

4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot

desires.

JAMES 3:5

5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little 

fire kindles!

JAMES 3:6

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it 

defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

mankind.

9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the

What is the source of some of your greatest and most lasting pain?

Caused by something physical?

Caused by an unexpected event or tragedy?

Caused by hurtful words?

My brethren, these things ought notto be so.

QUOTE

The powerful message of James here cannot be explained merely in academic terms. 

Many individuals at one time praise their Maker, and then with the same tongue slander and revile their brothers. 

After solemn worship in the house of God, the professed worshiper can go forth with feelings of malice in his heart, and the language of praise can turn quickly to that of provocation. 

Believers who have been transformed by the Spirit of God should manifest wholeness and purity of heart in consistency and purity of speech. –William Varner

Jas 3:11–12 

11Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same 

opening? 

12Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, 

or a grapevine bear figs?

James 3:12

Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, 

or a grapevine bear figs? 

Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. (no salty spring yields fresh water)
