    James informs us of these important truths: 1. The tongue is not easily controlled. 2. I allow God to control my tongue, or it controls me. 3.The tongue can be used for good or evil. 4. What I say is a reflection of who I am.

    James says, “No man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness” (James 3:8-9). James includes himself as one having this problem, for he says that “no man can ...read more

    Contributed by Tony Miano on Apr 30, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 4,969 views

    One way to organize this passage is to divide it into three primary sections. First we see James deal with the pride of speech (vv. 1-2a). Second he deals with the power of speech (vv. 2b-5a). Lastly, he deals with the perversion of speech (vv. 5b-12).
