James 3:13-18

21st Century King James Version

¹³ Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show his works out of good conduct and with the meekness of wisdom.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envy and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

¹⁵ Such wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there is confusion and every evil work.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of those who make peace.
