James 3:14-16
Worldwide English (New Testament)
14 Are you a person who is very jealous? In your hearts you want to be better than others? Then stop being proud of yourself. Do not say what is not true.
15 God did not give you wisdom like that. But it comes from this world. It comes from people. It comes from bad spirits.
16 If people are jealous of others, their lives are not right. They do every kind of wrong thing to get what they want. They confuse and upset people.

James 3:14-16
New International Version
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(A) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(B) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(C) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(D) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(E) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
