James 3:13-18
13
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
14
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
15
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
