James 3:9

Restraining The Tongue

⁸ But, the tongue, none of mankind can, tame, - A restless mischief! Full of deadly poison ⁹ Therewith, are we blessing our Lord and Father, and, therewith, we are cursing the men who, after the likeness of God, have been brought into being! ¹⁰ Out of the same mouth, come forth blessing and cursing! Not meet, my brethren, for, these things, thus, to be coming to pass!

Bless God

Bless the Lord

God the Father

Image of God

Likeness of God

Praise the Lord
