Mistakes (chapter 3)

James said that not many of his readers would become teachers.  Teachers are held to higher standards.  However, most people make a lot of mistakes.  The only ones who don’t make mistakes in speaking have control of their tongues.  You can control the whole body of a horse by putting a bridle in its mouth.  This is just like the ships with their rudders.  You are able to control large sailing ships with a small rudder directed by a pilot.  Do you have control over your body?
