aus demselben Mund geht heraus Preis und Fluch. Nicht ist nötig, meine Brüder, dieses so geschieht.

Was bedeutet das?

This verse from James says that we shouldn't bless and curse others with the same mouth. It's like saying you can't have both good and bad coming out of your mouth at the same time, which doesn’t make sense.
