James 3:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² For in many things we all sin. If anyone does not sin in word, he is a perfect man and able to bridle his whole body.

³ Behold, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us. And we direct their whole body.

⁴ Also, behold the ships. Though they are so great and are driven by fierce winds, they are still directed with a very small rudder, wherever the helmsman wishes.
