Lessons from the book of James (#11)
James, one of the writers of the Bible, asks the question, “Who is wise and understanding among you?”
Would you like to know if you are wise and understanding?
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James 3:13-18 ESV)

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.
