James 3:1-3 New English Translation (NET)

1. Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.

2. For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.

3. And if we put bits into the mouths of horses to get them to obey us, then we guide their entire bodies.
