James 3:4 in Context — James 3
2 Pois todos tropeçamos em muitas coisas. Se alguém não tropeça no que diz, tal homem é completo, e também capaz de refrear todo o corpo.
3 Eis que pomos freios nas bocas dos cavalos para nos obedecerem, e [assim] manobramos todo o corpo deles.
4 Vede também os navios, sendo tão grandes, e levados por impetuosos ventos, são manobrados com um pequeníssimo leme para onde quer que queira o impulso daquele que dirige.
5 Assim também a língua é um pequeno membro, mas se orgulha de grandes coisas. Vede como um pequeno fogo incendeia um grande bosque!
6 A língua também [é] um fogo, o mundo da injustiça; assim a língua está posta entre os nossos membros, contaminando o corpo todo, inflamando o curso da natureza humana, e sendo inflamada pelo inferno.
