James 3:2-4

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

² For we all stumble many^[a] ways. If one does not stumble in speech, this one is a perfect man able to bridle^[b] also the whole body. ³ Now if we put bridles into the mouths of horses so-that they obey us, we also guide their whole body. ⁴ Behold also ships being so large and being driven by hard winds— they are guided by a very small rudder where the impulse of the one steering wants.
