James 3:12-14
New King James Version
12 Can a (A)fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? [a]Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
13 (B)Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have (C)bitter envy and [b]self-seeking in your hearts, (D)do not boast and lie against the truth.
