NASB
"For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well."
— James 3:2, NASB
“For 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.”
“For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. ”
“For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.”
“For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.”
“For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.”
“For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.”
“For 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.”
Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.
Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.
So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
