Servants » Servants not being able to serve two masters
Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what partnership has righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? And what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what share have believers with non-believers? And what mutual agreement has a temple of God with idols?

So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles. And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness.

But no man is able to tame the tongue of men, an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. By it we bless the God and Father, and by it we curse men, who were made according to a likeness of God.
