James 3:15-18
15This wisdom is not that which comes down 1from above, but is 2earthly, 34natural, 5demonic.
16For where 6jealousy and 7selfish ambition exist, 8there is disorder and every evil thing.
17But the wisdom 9from above is first 10pure, then 11peaceable, 12gentle, 13reasonable, 14full of mercy and good fruits, 15unwavering, without 16hypocrisy.
18And the 1718seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace 19by those who make peace.
