The bible teaches us to be wise as serpents; harmless as doves...Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves ...
— Matthew 10:16
The two animals are apparently different in nature and characteristics and we are told to learn from the serpent to be watchful and and discerning in this world where dangers and wickedness strive and from the doves to be gentle and peaceable amongst people. The two attributes derived from two extreme animals seem so opposing yet so precious at the same time.
