Wisdom from Above

 

 

 

Who among you is wise and understanding?

Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart,

do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above,

but is earthly, natural, demonic.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist,

there is disorder and every evil thing.

 

But the wisdom from above is first pure,

then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy

and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

And the seed whose fruit is righteousness

is sown in peace by those who make peace

 

James 3:13-18
