James 3:13-16
13WhoG5101 amongG1722 you is wiseG4680 and understandingG1990? 1Let him showG1166 by his 2goodG2570 behaviorG391 his deedsG2041 in the gentlenessG4240 of wisdomG4678.
14But ifG1487 you haveG2192 bitterG4089 3jealousyG2205 and 4selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 in your heartG2588, do not be arrogantG2620 and so lieG5574 againstG2596 5the truthG225.
15ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 is not that which comesG2718 downG2718 6from aboveG509, but is 7earthlyG1919, 89naturalG5591, 10demonicG1141.
16For whereG3699 11jealousyG2205 and 12selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 exist, 13thereG1563 is disorderG181 and everyG3956 evilG5337 thingG4229.
