James 3:13-18 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him exhibit his works in the meekness of wisdom, by his good way of life.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him exhibit his works in the meekness of wisdom, by his good way of life. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth— ¹⁵ such ‘wisdom’ is not coming down from Above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. ¹⁶ Because where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is unruliness and every foul practice. ¹⁷ In contrast, the wisdom from Above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ Now the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those making peace.
