Do you believe in one God? Very well; the demons, too, believe that, and shudder.

For we all make many a slip. If anyone never slips in speech, he is a man of maturity; he can control his whole body too.

If we put bridles into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies, too.

Look at ships, too; though great and driven by violent winds, they are steered with a tiny rudder wherever the pilot pleases.

So the tongue, too, is a little organ but can boast of great achievements. See how a spark, ever so tiny, can set a vast forest on fire!

You must be patient, too; you must put iron into your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is close at hand.
