World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a spring send forth from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show his deeds done in gentleness of wisdom by his good life.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don`t boast and don`t lie against the truth.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
