James 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 For in many things we [a]sin all. [b]If any man sin not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
3 [c]Behold, we put bits into the horses’ mouths, that they should obey us, and we turn about all their body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whithersoever the governor listeth.
