- The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
- All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
- but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
- With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.
- Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.

- 舌頭就是火、在我們百體中、舌頭是個罪惡的世界、能污穢全身、也能把生命的輪子點起來.並且是從地獄裡點著的。
- 各類的走獸、飛禽、昆蟲、水族、本來都可以制伏、也已經被人制伏了.
- 惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏、是不止息的惡物.滿了害死人的毒氣。
- 我們用舌頭頌讚那為主為父的、又用舌頭咒詛那照著 神形像被造的人.
- 頌讚和咒詛從一個口裡出來、我的弟兄們、這是不應當的。
