"Not Many should become teachers, my brothers"
James 3:1
Gospel Teacher
"Not Many should become teachers, my brothers,
because you know that we will receive a stricter
judgment. For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone
does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able
also to control the whole body"
James 3:1-2
Gospel Tongue
"Now if we put bits into the mouths of horses so that
they obey us, we direct their whole bodies. And
consider ships: Though very large and driven by
fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder
wherever the will of the pilot directs. So too, though
the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great
things."
James 3:3-5
"Consider how a small fire sets a large forest. And
the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among our members. It stains the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and fish is tamed and has been tamed by humankind, but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
James 3:5-8
Gospel Test
"With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and
with it we curse people who are made in God's
likeness. Blessing and cursing come out of the same
mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should
not be this way. Does a spring pour out sweet and
bitter water from the same opening? Can a fig tree
produce olives, my brothers and sisters, or a
grapevine produce figs? Neither can a saltwater
spring yield fresh water"
James 3:9-12
