“ Behold what a great forest a small fire can set ablaze. 6 The tongue is like a fire in a world of evil. It sits within us, defiling our whole body, setting ablaze our destiny with the fires of hell. 7 Every species has been tamed by the human species: beast and birds; creeping things and things in the sea. 8 But no one can tame the tongue--it uncontrollable venomous evil. ”

“ Don't just listen: do the word19 Dear brothers, understand this: be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger. 20 God's righteousness does not work through human anger. 21 So put aside all filthiness and wickedness and, in humility, allow the word which can save your souls to be grafted within you. 22 Become doers of the word and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 Those who hear the word without doing it are like a person who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and walks away, immediately forgetting what he looked like. ”
“ The law of liberty10 Even if someone keeps the whole law but fails on one point, they are guilty of it all. 11 If someone says, "You may not commit adultery" or "You may not murder;" and if you don't commit adultery but you do commit murder, you are still a law breaker, 12 so speak and act as one judged by the law of liberty. 13 The judgment will be merciless to those who don't show kindness. Kindness triumphs over judgment.Not just faith, also works14 What the use, brothers, if you claim to have faith but you don't do good works? Can that kind of faith save you? ”
