The Letter of James | James 3:13-18

from Westside Bible Studies · host Westside Bible Studies

Is "worldly wisdom" really wise? Why would James want to make contrasts between the wisdom from below and the wisdom from above? Join us as we consider James' meditations on wisdom in James 3:13-18. The Letter of James | James 3:13-18 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical. And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.
