Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

James 3:9
With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

James 1:26
If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.
