The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Large Catechism by Dr. Martin Luther: something to blame in a neighbor, and that explain and pervert it in

them. For there is nothing on or in entire man which can do both
greater and more extensive good or harm in spiritual and in temporal
matters than the tongue, though it is the least and feeblest member.
