James 3:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 For where envying and strife is, there is sedition, and all manner of evil works.
17 But the wisdom that is from above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of [a]mercy and good fruits, without judging, and without hypocrisy.
18 [b]And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, of them that make peace.

- James 3:18 Because the world persuadeth itself that they are miserable which live peaceably and simply, on the contrary side the Apostle pronounceth that they shall at the length reap the harvest of peaceable righteousness.
