James 3:13-18
Wisdom from Above
13Who among you is wise and understanding? aLet him show by his bgood conduct his works in the gentleness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter ajealousy and 1selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against bthe truth. 15This wisdom is not coming down afrom above, but is bearthly, 1,cnatural, ddemonic. 16For where ajealousy and 1selfish ambition exist, 2there is disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom afrom above is first bpure, then cpeaceable, dconsiderate, submissive, efull of mercy and good fruits, fwithout doubting, without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness ais sown in peace 1by those who make peace.
