King James Version
"But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth."
— James 3:14, King James Version
“But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. ”
“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.”
“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.”
“But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contention in your hearts: glory not and be not liars against the truth.”
“But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.”
“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.”
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
