James 3:14-16 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
          15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
          16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
