Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, ^[a]sensual, ^[b]devilish. ¹⁶ For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. 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 ^[c]variance, without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace ^[d]for them that make peace.
