James 3:13 (NASB)
Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘in the gentleness of wisdom’

Wisdom is put forth in scripture as that which has gentleness in it’s very make up... In another place it says; ‘first of all wisdom from above is pure’ ... Meaning that this wisdom that comes from above is pure in it’s essence....

How is it that this wisdom that comes from above is put forth as that which has gentleness as it’s very essence... Meaning that all it does is with gentleness..

Because it is not in competition with anything... For it itself is wisdom and knows that all learning has to be of a spiritual nature for spiritual creatures to learn.. So it waits for the learning to be born inwardly in the life so that the creature might learn and thereby grow from that learning...

The wisdom that comes from above naturally puts forth the fruit of itself as a natural birth from it’s own life...It needs no outward encouragement to be that which it is in itself.... For all life naturally reacts as it is in it’s essences....

The wisdom that comes from above that is born in one is the life of Christ being manifested..

Be blessed all in the gentleness of wisdom being born inwardly, so it’s essences would manifest themselves in this outward world...

A fellow believer, Not me

The last half of James chapter 3 is a good passage that illustrates that sometimes it isn't what you're saying but how you're saying it.

Hi, for in that we rejoice, as the Spirit of Christ teaches us all things concerning the speaking...

Both His and ours....

So we are blessed in Him, a fellow believer, Not me
