James 3:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Praises and curses come from the same mouth! My ·brothers and sisters [^Cfellow believers], this should not happen. ¹¹ Do ·good [fresh; ^Lsweet] and ·bad [stale; or salt; ^Lbitter] water flow from the same [^Lopening of a] spring? ¹² My ·brothers and sisters [^Cfellow believers], can a fig tree make olives, or can a grapevine make figs? No! ·And a well full of salty water cannot give good water [^LNeither can salt water make sweet].
