James 3:2 in Context — James 3
1 Mes frères, qu’il n’y ait pas parmi vous un grand nombre de personnes qui se mettent à enseigner, car vous savez que nous serons jugés plus sévèrement.
2 Nous bronchons tous de plusieurs manières. Si quelqu’un ne bronche point en paroles, c’est un homme parfait, capable de tenir tout son corps en bride.
3 Si nous mettons le mors dans la bouche des chevaux pour qu’ils nous obéissent, nous dirigeons aussi leur corps tout entier.
4 Voici, même les navires, qui sont si grands et que poussent des vents impétueux, sont dirigés par un très petit gouvernail, au gré du pilote.
