James 3:13

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹² Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries: or a vine bear figs? So can no fountain give both salt water and fresh also. ¹³ If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth.
