James 3:17

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;...

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
