“For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind : kind: Gr. nature mankind: Gr. nature of man”
James 3:7 (KJV)
Commentary on James 3:7
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: Every species (physis, φύσις) of beasts, birds, serpents, and sea creatures has been tamed (damazetai, δαμάζεται), yet the tongue resists domination. Humans subdue creation but not their speech—a sobering paradox.Reformed anthropology recognizes tongue-taming as supernatural work of grace. Our inability underscores need for Spirit's fruit of self-control.
