James 3:14 in Context — James 3

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.

16 Pois onde [há] inveja e rivalidade, ali [há] perturbação e toda obra perversa.
