James 3:8-13 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

8. But our tongues get out of control. They are restless and evil, and always spreading deadly poison.

11. Can clean water and dirty water both flow from the same spring?

12. Can a fig tree produce olives or a grapevine produce figs? Does fresh water come from a well full of salt water?

13. Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do.
