James 1: ²⁶If you think you are being religious, but can't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and everything you do is useless. (CEV)

James 3: ²All of us do many wrong things. But if you can control your tongue, you are mature and able to control your whole body.... ⁵Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things. It takes only a spark to start a forest fire! ⁶The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person's entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself. ⁸But our tongues get out of control. They are restless and evil, and always spreading deadly poison. ^9-10My dear friends, with our tongues we speak both praises and curses. We praise our Lord and Father, and we curse people who were created to be like God, and this isn't right.
(CEV)

James 4: ⁴ Why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn't it because you are full of selfish desires that fight to control your body?  (CEV)
