James 3:13-18 Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Who is wise and intelligent among you? Let him show out of the noble life that he lives his works in wise gentleness. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and party-spirit in your hearts, do not boast and falsely contradict the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom does not come down from on high, but is earthly, animal, demoniacal. ¹⁶ For where jealousy and party-spirit are, there is confusion and every base affair. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from on high is first pure, then peaceable, fair-minded, easily persuaded, full of compassion and good fruits, impartial, sincere. ¹⁸ The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
