James 3:2-4

2 For ^awe all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, ^bhe is a perfect man, ^cable also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put ^dbits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
