Does the spring pour out from the same opening the sweet and the bitter?

A fig tree, my brothers, cannot make olives, or a grapevine figs. In the same way, no one spring makes water salty and sweet.

As for you, my brethren, bear your sufferings with constancy, till the advent of the Lord. the farmer, from the prospect of a golden crop, patiently expects the showers of the spring and the autumn.

and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.

FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members?

and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?

Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

and ye have regard for the man wearing the bright clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here well, and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit here below my footstool,

Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;

Do not become many teachers, my brothers, because you know well that we teachers shall be judged by a severer standard than others.

For in many respects we often stumble. If any man never stumbles in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
