One mouth
Reads the lesson aloud on this device.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.James 3:9-10 · KJV
Every human bears God’s image. Never use a person as a thing.
James says we bless God and then curse people with the same mouth. But people are made in God’s likeness. Cursing them is cursing what God made.
Check 1James says people are made after the likeness of God.
Made after the similitude of God. Similitude means likeness.
Check 2James’s point is:
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
Don’t repeat one word that puts down a group of people today.
Only check it if you did it. Nobody sees this but you.
What names do I call people when I’m angry?
Write your answer in the journal.
Answer the checks, or play Listen to the end, to finish.
