james 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

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

13. Who--(Compare Ps 34:12, 13). All wish to appear "wise": few are so.
show--"by works," and not merely by profession, referring to Jas 2:18.
out of a good conversation his works--by general "good conduct" manifested in particular "works." "Wisdom" and "knowledge," without these being "shown," are as dead as faith would be without works [ALFORD].
with meekness of wisdom--with the meekness inseparable from true "wisdom."

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