James 3:11-14

11Does a fountain send out from the same opening both 1fresh and bitter water? 122Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce 3fresh.

13Who among you is wise and understanding? 4Let him show by his 5good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter 6jealousy and 7selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against 8the truth.
