" the wisdom from above is pure wisdom
it is is peace-loving
and considerate
it is willing to yield to others
full of compassion
full of good deeds
it shows no favoritism
it is sincere
the wise will be peacemakers, sowing seeds of peace, producing a harvest of righteousness
James 3:17
The context is jealousy and selfish ambition .. the greater context is the tongue ..
restless and wicked, it is poisonous; it can praise God and it can curse people, made in God image ..
this is evidence of impurity and insincerity;
a spring produces fresh water or salty, not both; a fruit tree produces the fruit of that tree, not some other
if I am wise to God, then I will live that out; it will show up in good works done humbly, the fruit of pure wisdom ..
