Old Testament

New Testament

James 3:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. My brothers, not many of you should become teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.

2. We all err in many ways. But if any man does not err in word, he is a perfect man and able also to control the whole body.

3. See how we put bits in the mouths of horses that they may obey us, and we control their whole bodies.

4. And observe ships. Though they are so great and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are directed with a very small rudder wherever the captain pleases.
