11
Does a fountain send out from the same opening both afresh and bitter water?
12
1Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs ? Nor can salt water produce bfresh.
Wisdom from Above
13 Who among you is wise and understanding ? 2Let him show by his 3good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter 4jealousy and cselfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against 5the truth. 15 This wisdom is not that which comes down 6from above, but is 7earthly, d8natural, 9demonic. 16 For where 10jealousy and eselfish ambition exist, fthere is disorder and every evil thing. 17 But the wisdom 11from above is first 12pure, then 13peaceable, 14gentle, greasonable, 15full of mercy and good fruits, 16unwavering, without 17hypocrisy. 18 And the h18seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace iby those who make peace.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
