"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy, and the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." James 3:17,18
How do I handle the affairs of my life? Is it governed by the wisdom that is from above?
"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." James 3:13
Wisdom is not a philosophy that I can sit down for coffee and discuss with a friend or read about in an old book. Wisdom is only seen in how I live my life -- especially with others. Being easily intreated means that I am involved with others, not showing partiality involves others, hypocrisy is only demonstrated to others.
