James 3:2

“When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and give them over to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to a land far off or near,

For the choir director. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will keep watch over my ways That I may not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.”

When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who holds back his lips has insight.

The one who guards his mouth keeps his soul; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

He who keeps his mouth and his tongue, Keeps his soul from troubles.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious while not bridling his tongue but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the entire body as well.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
