James Standpoint

3:3Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. 4And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.

5And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power!  Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. 6And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness  and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body  and is a hellish flame!  It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence (TPT).
