James 3:13-18

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show, by his good behavior, that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast or deny the truth, for such false wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, and of the devil. Where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is disorder and every evil matter. But wisdom from heaven is first of all pure, and also peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by peacemakers.
