1. The Wisdom from Above - "is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy" (James 3:17).
2. The Wisdom from Below - "is earthly, sensual, demonic" and leads to "bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts" along with "confusion and every evil thing" (James 3:14-16).
Be "wise and understanding" (James 3:13). Show "by good conduct" that your "works are done in the meekness of wisdom" (James 3:13). Seek "the wisdom that is from above" (James 3:17).
