G5468–χαλιναγωγέω–chalinagōgeō

If a man thinks that he is scrupulously religious, although he is not curbing his tongue but is deceiving himself, his religious service is worthless.

χαλιναγωγῶν chalinagōgōn “bridling”

For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.

χαλιναγωγῆσαι chalinagōgēsai “to bridle”
