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