American King James Version
"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. "
— James 3:16, American King James Version
“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
“For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. ”
“For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.”
“For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.”
“For where envying and contention is: there is inconstancy and every evil work.”
“For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.”
“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
