James 3:17

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹⁶ for where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above first is pure, then peaceable, mild, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those that promote peace.
