James 3:17

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹⁶ For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, 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 those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.
