# The tongue is also a fire "The tongue is like a fire" # a world of evil set among our members The enormous effects of sinful speaking are spoken of as if they were a world by themselves. # our members "the parts of our bodies" # The tongue defiles the whole body "For God rejects a person who speaks evil words" # sets on fire the course of life "it ruins a person's entire life" # life, and is itself set on fire by hell "life because the devil uses it for evil"
