James 3:14 Context
12Can þe figtree, my brethren, beare oliue berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountaine both yeeld salt water & fresh. 13Who is a wise man and indued with knowledge amongst you? let him shew out of a good conuersation his workes with meekenes of wisedome. 14But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts glory not, and lie not against the trueth. 15This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, deuilish. 16For where enuying and strife is, there is confusion, and euery euill worke.
