My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall
receive a stricter judgment.
JAMES 3:2

3 Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body.

desires.

5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little
fire kindles!
JAMES 3:6
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it
defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.

QUOTE
The powerful message of James here cannot be explained merely in academic terms.
Many individuals at one time praise their Maker, and then with the same tongue slander and revile their brothers.
After solemn worship in the house of God, the professed worshiper can go forth with feelings of malice in his heart, and the language of praise can turn quickly to that of provocation.
Believers who have been transformed by the Spirit of God should manifest wholeness and purity of heart in consistency and purity of speech. –William Varner
Jas 3:11–12
11Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same
opening?
12Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives,
or a grapevine bear figs?
