James 3:18

18. Fruit… is sown By fruit is meant the harvest, crop, or product; and this is virtually sown in the seed that produces it. Fruit, consisting in righteousness, not fruit produced by righteousness. And this fruit, namely, righteousness, springs from a seed-sowing in the soil of peace by them that make or enact peace. The man of holy peace sows that seed in peace which brings forth righteousness. Thus in holy eloquence does St. James appeal to his fellows of the twelve tribes, both Christians and those who should be Christians, among whom strifes of tongue arising from bitterness of heart were producing sin and ruin, to seek for righteousness in the paths of holy quietude and peace. In an angry age his warnings were slighted, and the ruin resulted in the destruction of their capital and the overthrow of their State.
