James 3:14

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹³ If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom. ¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish.
