¹⁶For where ^wenvying and ^xstrife is, there is ^†confusion and every evil work. ¹⁷But ^zthe wisdom that is ^yfrom above is first pure, then ^apeaceable, ^bgentle, and easy to be intreated, ^cfull of mercy and good fruits, ^||^dwithout partiality, and ^ewithout hypocrisy. ¹⁸And ^a^fthe fruit of righteousness is sown ^a^gin peace of them that make peace.

4From whence come wars and ^||fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your ^||lusts ^athat war in your members? ²Ye lust, and have not: ye ^||^bkill, and ^cdesire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. ³^dYe ask, and receive not, ^ebecause ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your ^||lusts.

Read in Logos

James 3:17: But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
