Verse 2 is found in chapter 3 of James. James especially warns those who desire to teach because speech has the ability to influence others deeply. The tongue, although small, can direct or destroy, much like a bit controls a horse or a rudder directs a ship.

Denn wir fehlen alle mannigfaltig. Wer aber auch in keinem Wort fehlt, der ist ein vollkommener Mann und kann auch den ganzen Leib im Zaum halten.
Porque todos ofendemos en muchas cosas. Si alguno no ofende en palabra, éste es varón perfecto, que también puede con freno gobernar todo el cuerpo.
Porque todos tropezamos de muchas maneras. Si alguno no tropieza al hablar, es un hombre perfecto, capaz de refrenar también todo su cuerpo.
Nous bronchons tous de plusieurs manières. Si quelqu'un ne bronche point en paroles, c'est un homme parfait, capable de tenir tout son corps en bride.
Poichè tutti falliamo in molte cose; se alcuno non fallisce nel parlare, esso è uomo compiuto, e può tenere a freno eziandio tutto il corpo.
Porque todos tropeçamos em muitas coisas. Se alguém não tropeça em palavra, o tal é perfeito, e poderoso para também refrear todo o corpo.
原來我們在許多事上都有過失;若有人在言語上沒有過失,他就是完全的人,也能勒住自己的全身。
