James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
But the wisdom from above is:
PURE—Genuine; real; true; incorrupt; unadulterated; as pure religion
PEACEABLE—Free from war, tumult or public commotion
GENTLE—Mild; meek; soft; bland; not rough, harsh or severe; as a gentle nature, temper or disposition; a gentle manner; a gentle address; a gentle voice.
EASY TO BE INTREATED—Earnestly supplicated, besought or solicited; importuned; urgently requested.
FULL OF MERCY—That benevolence, mildness or tenderness of heart which disposes a person to overlook injuries, or to treat an offender better than he deserves; the disposition that tempers justice, and induces an injured person to forgive trespasses and injuries, and to forbear punishment, or inflict less than law or justice will warrant. In this sense, there is perhaps no word in our language precisely synonymous with mercy. That which comes nearest to it is grace. It implies benevolence, tenderness, mildness, pity or compassion, and clemency, but exercised only towards offenders. Mercy is a distinguishing attribute of the Supreme Being.
GOOD FRUITS—Effect or consequence.
WITHOUT PARTIALITY—A stronger inclination to one thing than to others; as a partiality for poetry or painting; a colloquial use.
WITHOUT HYPOCRISY—Simulation; a feigning to be what one is not; or dissimulation, a concealment of one's real character or motives. More generally, hypocrisy is simulation, or the assuming of a false appearance of virtue or religion; a deceitful show of a good character, in morals or religion; a counterfeiting of religion.
