Ch. VI: "External Conduct", p. 72.
“

What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Is the amount of scrupulous attention which I am paying to the government of my tongue at all proportioned to that tremendous truth revealed through St. James, that if I do not bridle my tongue, all my religion is vain?" in the context of "Ch. VI: "External Conduct", p. 72." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
