This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
What a price to pay for unrighteous jealousy and selfish ambition. The cost of following earthly, unspiritual, demonic wisdom is a life of disorder and every vile practice…But, my Lord and Master offers a life of righteousness sown in peace. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. [Matthew 5:9 ] A life free to live a life with God's love lavished upon me [1 John 3:1 NIV]
