OUR TONGUE CAN SET OUR WHOLE BODY ON FIRE ROMANS 3: 13 “Their throat is an opened grave, they have used deceit with their tongues.” “Poison of asps is behind their lips. JAMES 3: 5 So, too, the tongue is a little member and yet makes great brags. Look! How little a fire it takes to set so great a wood land on fire! 6 Well, the tongue is a fire. The tongue is constituted a world of unrighteousness among our members, for it spots up all the body and sets the wheel of natural life aflame and it is set aflame by Gehenna. 7 For every species of wild beast as well as bird and creeping thing and sea creature is to be tamed and has been tamed by humankind. 8 But the tongue, not one of mankind can get it tamed. An unruly injurious thing, it is full of death-dealing poison. 9 With it we bless Jehovah, even the Father, and yet with it we curse men who have come into existence “in the likeness of God.” 10 Out of thesame mouth come forth blessing and cursing.
