James 3:14-18
14But ifG1487 you haveG2192 bitterG4089 1jealousyG2205 and 2selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 in your heartG2588, do not be arrogantG2620 and so lieG5574 againstG2596 3the truthG225.
15ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 is not that which comesG2718 downG2718 4from aboveG509, but is 5earthlyG1919, 67naturalG5591, 8demonicG1141.
16For whereG3699 9jealousyG2205 and 10selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 exist, 11thereG1563 is disorderG181 and everyG3956 evilG5337 thingG4229.
17But the wisdomG4678 12from aboveG509 is firstG4413 13pureG53, thenG1899 14peaceableG1516, 15gentleG1933, 16reasonableG2138, 17fullG3324 of mercyG1656 and goodG18 fruitsG2590, 18unwaveringG87, withoutG505 19hypocrisyG505.
18And the 2021seed whose fruitG2590 is righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 in peaceG1515 22by thoseG3588 who makeG4160 peaceG1515.
