3:8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
3:9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
3:10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
3:11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
3:12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
3:13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
3:14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
3:15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
3:16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
3:17But 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, and without hypocrisy.
3:18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
