“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” James 3:13
“Wise and understanding” is a reference to the teachers mentioned earlier in verse 1, who claimed to be faithful but were acting otherwise.
“Humility that comes from wisdom” … both are attributes of a righteous person.
James is continually providing for us the solution for the problem of controlling our tongues. He says the best way is to seek divine wisdom. The person who possesses godly wisdom will meekly show it with works, not just words. That is, believers should be slow to speak but quick to act in service to others.
God’s blessings on your day…
