James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives; or a grape-vine, figs? No more can salt water yield fresh water. ¹³ Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.
