James 3:16 in Context — James 3
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.
18 Y el fruto de justicia se siembra en paz para aquellos que hacen paz.
