Reading:

James 3:7-18

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place
sweet water and bitter?

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth.

This wisdom descendeth not from above…

For where envying and strife is,
there is confusion and every evil work.

And the fruit of righteousness
is sown in peace
of them that make peace.

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 37:11 -- But the meek...shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace]
from Psalm 37:11

Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths…
and we turn about their whole body.

Behold also the ships,
which though they be so great…
yet are they turned about with a very small helm…

Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

So is the tongue among our members…

James 3:1-6
