James:3:13-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Who among you is wise and intelligent ?
Let him show his deeds by his good life ,
in the meekness of wisdom .
*
But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart ,
do not be boasting of that ,
and be false to the truth .
*
Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high ,
but is earthly ,
sensual ,
demonlike .
*
For wherever jealousy and faction exist ,
there is confusion and every evil deed .
*
But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure ,
then peaceable ,
gentle ,
conciliatory ,
overflowing with mercy and good fruits ,
without partiality and without insincerity .
*
And the fruit of righteousness is being sown in peace by those who are working peace .
