nkjv James:3:11-18
nkjv@James:3:11 @ Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
nkjv@James:3:12 @ Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
nkjv@James:3:13 @ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
nkjv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
nkjv@James:3:15 @ This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
nkjv@James:3:16 @ For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
nkjv@James:3:17 @ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
nkjv@James:3:18 @ Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
