James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water make sweet water. ¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom; ¹⁴ but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
