James 3:16-18
New English Translation

16 For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating,[a] full of mercy and good fruit,[b] impartial, and not hypocritical.[c] 18 And the fruit that consists of righteousness[d] is planted[e] in peace among[f] those who make peace.
