In verses 7-12, James continues his discussion of the tongue - both its power and danger. It is important for us to remember that genuine faith must respond, it will be evidenced in the way that we engage and interact with one another. In this case, Genuine Faith understands the power and danger of the tongue, and demonstrates mature transformation through controlled speech! 

James, the brother of Jesus, writes to Jewish believers who have been scattered, likely because of persecution. James encourages these believers through instruction on trials, genuine faith, and the appropriate interactions within the community of believers. His goal is to give guidance to these believers as they continue to engage with one another apart from the oversight of the established church in Jerusalem.
