James 3:16
| ← James 3:15 | James 3:16 (KJV) | James 3:17 → |
|---|---|---|
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
|
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
|
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
