James 3:14

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

Let him show that his actions are the outcome of a good life lived in the humility of true wisdom. ¹⁴ But, while you harbor envy and bitterness and a spirit of rivalry in your hearts, do not boast or lie to the detriment of the Truth. ¹⁵ That is not the wisdom which comes from above; no, it is earthly, animal, devilish.
