“For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.”
James 3:2 (KJV)
Commentary on James 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. We all stumble (ptaio, πταίω) in many ways. If someone does not stumble in word, he is perfect (teleios, τέλειος), able to bridle the whole body. Speech control indicates mature self-mastery because the tongue directs life.Reformed sanctification views speech as barometer of heart health. James ties tongue-control to holistic holiness, linking this section to earlier admonitions.
