If you are wise, live a life of steady goodness, so that only good deeds will pour forth. And if you don’t brag about them, then you will be truly wise!

James 3:13-16 And by all means don’t brag about being wise and good if you are bitter and jealous and selfish; that is the worst sort of lie.

¹⁵ For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, inspired by the devil.

¹⁶ For wherever there is jealousy or selfish ambition, there will be disorder and every other kind of evil. So beware! Amen.
