James 3:13-18

13Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.

14But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.

15Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, natural, demonic.

16For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.

17But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

18And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.
