James 3:1-4, 7, 8 (King James Version)
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the
greater
condemnation.
2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the
same
is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and
we
turn about their whole body.
4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven
of
fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small
helm,
whithersoever the governor listeth.
7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things
in
the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
deadly
poison.
James 3:1-4, 7, 8 (Amplified Bible)
1NOT MANY [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors
and
reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will
be
judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other
people;
thus we assume the greater accountability and the more
condemnation].
2For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if
anyone
does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a
fully
developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body
and to
curb his entire nature.
3If we set bits in the horses’ mouths to make them obey us, we can
turn
their whole bodies about.
4Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven
by
rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse
of
the helmsman determines.
7For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be
tamed
and has been tamed by human genius (nature).
8But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a
restless
(undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison.

6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give
I
thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through
faith.
Deuteronomy 28:61 (King James Version)
Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book
of
this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed
