"The
tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of
the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole
course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by
hell."
(3:6)
"All kinds of animals, birds,
reptiles and creatures of the sea are being
tamed and have been tamed by man,
but no man can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
(3:8)
"With the tongue we praise our
Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in
God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers, this
should not be."
(3:10)
