James has it right. From Chapter 3:
Wisdom from Above
13 Who is wise and
understanding among you? By
his good conduct let him show his works in
the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy
and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the
truth. 15 This is not the
wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For
where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile
practice. 17 But the
wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, open to reason, full
of mercy and good fruits, impartial
and sincere.
18 And
a
harvest of righteousness is
sown in peace by those who make peace.
