James 3:13-16
13Who among you is wise and understanding? 1Let him show by his 2good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
14But if you have bitter 3jealousy and 4selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against 5the truth.
15This wisdom is not that which comes down 6from above, but is 7earthly, 89natural, 10demonic.
16For where 11jealousy and 12selfish ambition exist, 13there is disorder and every evil thing.
