James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² A fig tree, my brothers, cannot make olives, or a grapevine figs. In the same way, no one spring makes water salty and sweet. ¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show from his good behavior his works in mildness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast, and do not lie against the truth.
