| | | | 18) | But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. |
| 19) | For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: |
| 20) | These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. |

|
| | 22) | But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. |
| 23) | For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: |
| 24) | For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. |
| 25) | But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. |
| 26) | If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. |
| 27) | Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. |

| | 2) | For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. |
| 3) | Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. |

| 5) | Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! |
| 6) | And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. |
| 7) | For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: |
| 8) | But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. |
| 9) | Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. |
| 10) | Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. |
