James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can the fig tree, my brothers, bear olive berries; or a vine, figs? So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh. ¹³ Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good conduct with meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.
