James 3:13-18

Lexham English Bible LEB

13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behavior his works, with the humility of wisdom.

14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.

15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but [is] earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

16 For where [there is] jealousy and selfish ambition, there [is] disorder and every evil practice.

17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy,

18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace among those who make peace.

New International Version NIV

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 harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.

15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

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 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
