James 3:14-18
King James Version
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(F) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(G) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(H) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(I) 18 Peacemakers(J) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(K)
