James 3:13-17

Goodspeed(i) 13 What wise, intelligent man is there among you? Let him show by his good life that what he does is done in the humility of wisdom. 14 But if you cherish bitter feelings of jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus belie the truth. 15 Such wisdom does not come from above. It is earthly, animal, demon-like. 16 For wherever jealousy and rivalry exist, there will be confusion and every low action. 17 The wisdom that is from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, considerate, willing to yield, full of compassion and good deeds, whole-hearted, straightforward.
