9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name,
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee might bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth:
11 And every tongue might confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.
7 For every kind both of wild beasts and of birds, both of reptiles and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.
8 But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
36 But I say to you, That every idle word which men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, or by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any one offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
9 Therewith bless we God the Father, and therewith curse we man, made after the likeness of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send out of the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries, or a vine figs? So can no fountain yield salt water and fresh.
26 If any one be ever so religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
3 Behold we put bits into the horses mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, tho' they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, yet are turned about by a very small helm, whithersoever the pilot listeth.
5 So the tongue also is a little member, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much matter a little fire kindleth.
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: it is the tongue among the members which defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
