James 3:13-18
Revised Geneva Translation
13 Who is wise among you and endowed with knowledge? Let him show the good behavior of his works in the gentleness of wisdom.
14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, do not boast. And do not be liars against the truth.
15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 For where there is envying and strife, there is upheaval, and all kinds of evil works.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

James 3:13-18
New International Version
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it(A) by their good life, by deeds(B) done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(C) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(D) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(E) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(F) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(G) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(H) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(I) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(J) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(K) 18 Peacemakers(L) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(M)
