JAMES 3:11-18
DOTH
A FOUNTAIN SEND FORTH
AT
THE SAME PLACE
SWEET WATER
AND BITTER?
CAN THE FIG TREE,
MY BRETHREN,
BEAR OLIVE BERRIES?
EITHER A VINE,
FIGS?
SO CAN NO FOUNTAIN
BOTH
YIELD
SALT WATER AND FRESH.
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.
BUT IF YE HAVE
BITTER ENVYING
AND
STRIFE IN YOUR HEARTS,
GLORY NOT,
AND
LIE NOT
AGAINST THE TRUTH.
THIS WISDOM
DESCENDETH NOT
FROM ABOVE,
BUT IS
EARTHLY,
SENSUAL,
DEVILISH.
FOR WHERE
ENVYING AND STRIFE
IS,
THERE IS CONFUSION
AND
EVERY EVIL WORK.
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,
WITHOUT HYPOCRISY.
AND
THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS SOWN IN
PEACE
OF
THEM
THAT MAKE PEACE.
LOVE
