James 3:14 in Context — James 3
12 Hermanos míos, ¿puede la higuera producir aceitunas, ó la vid higos? Así ninguna fuente puede hacer agua salada y dulce.
13 ¿Quién es sabio y avisado entre vosotros? muestre por buena conversación sus obras en mansedumbre de sabiduría.
14 Pero si tenéis envidia amarga y contención en vuestros corazones, no os gloriéis, ni seáis mentirosos contra la verdad:
15 Que esta sabiduría no es la que desciende de lo alto, sino terrena, animal, diabólica.
16 Porque donde hay envidia y contención, allí hay perturbación y toda obra perversa.
