James 3:13-18

NLT

NIV

13 If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14 But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying.
14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
15 For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.
16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
18 And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
