James 3:13-17 Who among you claims to be wise and intelligent? Let him show that his actions are the outcome of a good life lived in the humility of true wisdom.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Who among you claims to be wise and intelligent? Let him show that his actions are the outcome of a good life lived in the humility of true wisdom. ¹⁴ But, while you harbor envy and bitterness and a spirit of rivalry in your hearts, do not boast or lie to the detriment of the Truth. ¹⁵ That is not the wisdom which comes from above; no, it is earthly, animal, devilish. ¹⁶ For, where envy and rivalry exist, there you will also find disorder and all kinds of base actions. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is, before every thing else, pure; then peace-loving, gentle, open to conviction, rich in compassion and good deeds, and free from partiality and insincerity.
