Verse 15.— This wisdom descendeth not from above. The wisdom you boast of possessing while your heart is full of envy and a ready disposition to engage in strife, and your utterances show you possess these passions, comes not from above. The same comes not from heaven, where God reigns and angels dwell. But is earthly, sensual, devilish. They are earthly because on earth only are such to be found; sensual because suggested by animal appetites, and devilish because inspired by the enemy of souls.
