16For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice. 17But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits, nonjudgmental, without hypocrisy, 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace amonge those who make peace.

Subject Yourselves to God

4From where are conflicts and from where are quarrels among you? Is it not from this, from your pleasures that wage war among your members? 2You desire and do not have; you murder and are filled with envy, and are not able to obtain; you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. 3You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, in order that you may spend it on your pleasures.

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.
