Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, in whom there is no variation or changing shadow.

Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show by his noble living that his good deeds are done in humility, which wisdom prompts.

This is not the kind of wisdom that comes down from above; no, it is earthly, human, demoniacal.

You faithless wives! Do you not know that the friendship of the world means enmity with God? So whoever wants to be a friend to the world puts himself down as an enemy to God.
