"For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice."
— James 3:16, NET Bible
“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 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.”
True Wisdom Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct he should show his works done in the gentleness that wisdom brings.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.
Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, natural, demonic.
For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.
And the fruit that consists of righteousness is planted in peace among those who make peace.
