Wisdom from Above (JAS 3:13-18)

[3:13] Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

[3:14] But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.

[3:15] This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

[3:16] For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.

[3:17] But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

[3:18] And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
