"Who is wise and instructed among you? Let him by his good behavior show his work in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jelousy and contentions in your hearts , do not glory and be liars against the truth. This is not the wisdom that descends from above. IT IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. For where there is envy and contentiousness, there is instability and every wicked deed. But the wisdom that is from aboveis first of all CHASTE, then PEACEABLE,MODERATE, DOCILE, in harmony with good things full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without judging, without dissimulation. The fruit of justice is sown in peace by those who make peace."
"Whence do wars and quarrels come among you? Is it not from this, from your passions, which wage warin your members? You covet and do not have; you kill and envy, and cannot obtain. You quarrel and wrangle, and you do not have because you do not ask. YOU ASK AND DO NOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE YOU ASK AMISS, that you may spend it upon your passions. ADULTERERS, do you not know that friendship with this world is enmity with God?" (JAMES 3;16 - 4:4)
