2. James 1:5-6 (MEV)
• 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,
who gives to all men liberally and without criticism,
and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith,
without wavering. For he who wavers is like a wave
of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.

4. James 3:13-16 (NKJV)
• Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
• 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
him show by good conduct that his works are
done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you
have bitter envy and [a]self-seeking in your
hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This
wisdom does not descend from above,
but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy
and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil
thing are there.
5. WISDOM FROM ABOVE
• James 3:13-18 (NKJV)
• 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy
and good fruits, without partiality and without
hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown
in peace by those who make peace.
