- James 3:1-12
- Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue
- What is the author saying? How do I apply it? Part of the application is a self test from this passage. The unregenerate man—this epistle calls him the deluded man. The immature believer—James calls him the double-minded man (a believer whose life is divided between things of this world and things of God). The mature believer—(a believer whose life is centered around God). The perfect man

- stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. This is a bridge between chapters 2 and 3. Good teachers teach the whole counsel of God’s word. From Abraham the father of faith to Rahab the prostitute. Faith is important. Works are important and must go together. The teacher instructs. Verbally. Instruction is important to becoming the perfect man. Bridle is the pick-up word to the next teaching. Controlling the tongue. Another test for us as believers
