James 3:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Where ·jealousy [or envy] and ·selfishness [selfish ambition] are, there will be ·confusion [chaos; disorder] and every ·kind of evil [evil thing/practice]. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that comes from ·God [^Labove; 3:15] is first of all pure, then peaceful [peace-loving], gentle [patient; considerate], and ·easy to please [or willing to yield; or open to reason]. This wisdom is ·always ready to help those who are troubled and to do good for others [^Lfull of mercy and good fruits]. It is ·always fair [impartial] and ·honest [sincere; unhypocritical]. ¹⁸ ·People who work for peace in a peaceful way plant a good crop of right living [or Peacemakers who sow with peace will harvest a crop of justice/righteousness; Gal. 5:22–23].
