James 3:13-18

Wisdom from Above

13Who is wise and understanding among you? aBy his good conduct let him show his works bin the meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter cjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not dthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, edemonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But fthe wisdom from above is first pure, then gpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, hfull of mercy and good fruits, iimpartial and jsincere. 18And ka harvest of righteousness lis sown in peace by those who make peace.
