New Testament

James 3:14-18 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. But if your heart is full of bitter jealousy and selfishness, don't boast or lie to cover up the truth.

15. That kind of wisdom doesn't come from above. It is earthly and selfish and comes from the devil himself.

16. Whenever people are jealous or selfish, they cause trouble and do all sorts of cruel things.

17. But the wisdom that comes from above leads us to be pure, friendly, gentle, sensible, kind, helpful, genuine, and sincere.

18. When peacemakers plant seeds of peace, they will harvest justice.
