James 3
James says that those who teach will be judged more strictly, and goes on to tie teaching in with one’s ability to control their own tongue. The mouth of the Lord’s servant should not release both cursing and blessing any more than you’d expect a saltwater spring to produce fresh water. He then gives a checklist of the kind of wisdom that comes from above. Earthly wisdom, on the other hand, reveals itself through bitter envy and selfish ambition. Fighting, warring, and quarrels arise from the passions that wage war within us. Those who refuse to submit to God should repent, be mournful, and despair because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
