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.
