Label the one on the left, ‘This world and its ruler, Satan’ (1 Jn. 5:19; Jn. 12:31; Rev. 12:9)

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
