"Who among you is wise
or clever? Let his right conduct give practical proof of it, with the modesty
that comes of wisdom. But if you are harbouring bitter jealousy and
selfish ambition in your hearts, consider whether your claims are not false, and
a defiance of the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes from above; it is
earth-bound, sensual, demonic. For with jealousy and ambition come disorder and
evil of every kind. But the wisdom from above is in the
first place pure; and then peace-loving, considerate, and open to reason; it is
straightforward and sincere, rich in mercy and in the kindly deeds that are its
fruit." (James 3:13
