THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE

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
