James 3:6 in Context — James 3
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.
7 Pois toda espécie, tanto de animais selvagens como de aves, tanto de répteis como de animais marinhos, é dominível e tem sido dominada pela espécie humana;
8 Mas nenhum ser humano consegue dominar a língua; ela é um mal difícil de se controlar, cheia de veneno mortal.
