James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can'salt water yield sweet. ¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.
