Aphoristic Commentary: James 3:5-6

James 3:5-6, Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

God's tongue is the Holy Spirit, a fire that cleanses the whole body, but a sinner's tongue lacks the Holy Spirit, so it is a fire that defiles the whole body.
