James 3:12-14
New English Translation
12 Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers and sisters,[a] or a vine produce figs? Neither can a salt water spring produce fresh water.
True Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.[b] 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
