James 3:15 in Context — James 3

13 ¿Quién es sabio y avisado entre vosotros? muestre por buena conversación sus obras en mansedumbre de sabiduría.

14 Pero si tenéis envidia amarga y contención en vuestros corazones, no os gloriéis, ni seáis mentirosos contra la verdad:

15 Que esta sabiduría no es la que desciende de lo alto, sino terrena, animal, diabólica.

16 Porque donde hay envidia y contención, allí hay perturbación y toda obra perversa.

17 Mas la sabiduría que es de lo alto, primeramente es pura, después pacífica, modesta, benigna, llena de misericordia y de buenos frutos, no juzgadora, no fingida.
