James 3:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let
him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of
wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
glory not, and lie not against the truth.
James 3:13-14 New Life Version (NLV)
Wisdom from Above
13 Who among you is wise and understands? Let that one show from
a good life by the things he does that he is wise and gentle. 14
If you have jealousy in your heart and fight to have many
things, do not be proud of it. Do not lie against the truth.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
13 We shouldn’t feel a need to brag about the wisdom we have but
use it instead in our walk with the Lord. True wisdom shouldn’t
bring out pride because pride is not wise. We as Christians
should consider other more then we do ourselves.
14 Often times people who brag feel this miss something in their
life and bragging brings them some joy that they feel they are
missing. We often times can be like that but we are to be more
like Christ and let the truth be seen in our lives.
