James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh. ¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good life let him show his deeds in the humility of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
