What Godly Wisdom Looks Like

“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.”

James 3:17 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Not all wisdom sounds the same. The wisdom from above is pure first, then peaceable, gentle, easy to approach, full of mercy, productive, impartial, and honest. If the advice you are getting does not match that list, it might not be from God.
