James 3:13-15

New Century Version

True Wisdom

¹³ Are there those among you who are truly wise and understanding? Then they should show it by living right and doing good things with a gentleness that comes from wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you are selfish and have bitter jealousy in your hearts, do not brag. Your bragging is a lie that hides the truth. ¹⁵ That kind of “wisdom” does not come from God but from the world. It is not spiritual; it is from the devil.
