James 3:11 in Context — James 3

9 Com ela bendizemos o Deus e Pai, e com ela amaldiçoamos os seres humanos, que são feitos à semelhança de Deus.

10 Da mesma boca procedem benção e maldição. Meus irmãos, isso não deve ser assim.

11 Acaso uma fonte jorra do mesmo manancial [água] doce e [água] amarga?

12 Meus irmãos, pode a figueira dar azeitonas, ou a videira figos? Assim [também] , nenhuma fonte dá tanto água salgada como doce.

13 Quem dentre vós for sábio e inteligente, que mostre pela boa conduta as suas obras em humildade de sabedoria.
