James 3:12

|---|---|---|
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.
