Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter? (3:11) Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh (3:12) Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom (3:13) But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth (3:14) This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish (3:15) For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work (3:16) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy (3:17) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace
(3:18)
