Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 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.

— James, son of Zebedee

More quotes by James, son of Zebedee

For the one who does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

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.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is frome above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
