James 3:14-16
New English Translation
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfishness in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth. 15 Such[a] wisdom does not come[b] from above but is earthly, natural,[c] demonic. 16 For where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is disorder and every evil practice.
