James 3:12 in Context — James 3
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.
14 Porém, se tendes amarga inveja e rivalidade no vosso coração, não vos orgulheis, nem mintais contra a verdade.
