The Wisdom From Above

James 3:13-18

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.

    Hi Sallie, I am new to your blog, having discovered you through another blog that I read. I love the book of James—I think it’s my favorite book of the Bible. A couple years ago, I set a goal for myself to memorize the entire book. I am happy to say that I have the first 4 chapters down and am 7 verses into chapter 5. Not much more to go.

    I am enjoying browsing around your site!
    Blessings,
