James 3:15 in Context — James 3
13 Lequel d’entre vous est sage et intelligent? Qu’il montre ses œuvres par une bonne conduite avec la douceur de la sagesse.
14 Mais si vous avez dans votre cœur un zèle amer et un esprit de dispute, ne vous glorifiez pas et ne mentez pas contre la vérité.
15 Cette sagesse n’est point celle qui vient d’en haut; mais elle est terrestre, charnelle, diabolique.
16 Car là où il y a un zèle amer et un esprit de dispute, il y a du désordre et toutes sortes de mauvaises actions.
17 La sagesse d’en haut est premièrement pure, ensuite pacifique, modérée, conciliante, pleine de miséricorde et de bons fruits, exempte de duplicité, d’hypocrisie.
