James 3:2-4

New Century Version

² We all make many mistakes. If people never said anything wrong, they would be perfect and able to control their entire selves, too. ³ When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can control their whole bodies. ⁴ Also a ship is very big, and it is pushed by strong winds. But a very small rudder controls that big ship, making it go wherever the pilot wants.
