"For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed."
— James 3:16, World English 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 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 wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
