James 3:2-4
New Matthew Bible
2 For in many things, we all sin.
If a person does not sin in word, he is a perfect man, and able to tame all the body. 3 Behold, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they will obey us, and we turn about all their body. 4 Behold also the ships, which, though they be so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet are turned about with a very small helm, wherever the helmsman chooses to steer.

James 3:2-4
New International Version
2 We all stumble(A) in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say(B) is perfect,(C) able to keep their whole body in check.(D)
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.(E) 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
