James 3:13-18

13Whois a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good behaviour his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.1 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.2 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.3 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.
