NT

James 3:13-18

esv

mine

Who is wise and understanding among you?

If you are wise according to God's definition of wisdom and have any understanding at all,

By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

then you show it by your actions which are done in meekness (putting the other person's interests first)

conditional

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts,

but if you only have the world's wisdom and jealously whine of others' success and constantly try to make yourself #1

do not boast

then keep quiet---don't brag

and be false to the truth.

and show the world how truly unwise you are by turning your back to the truth (i.e., God's definition of wisdom).

actionmanner

This is not the wisdom that comes down from above,

Why not? Because this type of "wisdom" is false wisdom, not God's wisdom,

but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

it is earthly, based on the flesh not the spirit, and is from satan, not God.

negativepositive

ground

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist,

Actions based on envy of others and a desire to put self first

there will be disorder and every vile practice.

results in chaos, disorganization, evil, sin.

actionresult

But the wisdom from above is first pure,

God's wisdom is first of all pure, untainted, uncorrupted,

then peaceable,

and leads to a character that is peaceful,

gentle,

mild-mannered,

open to reason,

rational and easy to talk to,

full of mercy and good fruits,

one that shows mercy not judgment and is not critical,

impartial

not biased or prejudiced

and sincere.

and honest and genuine.

series

progression

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

This then leads to reaping a harvest of God's righteousness for the one who has lived a life of peace.
