“This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. sensual: or, natural”
James 3:15 (KJV)
Commentary on James 3:15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Such wisdom does not descend from above but is earthly (epigeios, ἐπίγειος), unspiritual (psychikē, ψυχική), demonic (daimoniōdēs, δαιμονιώδης). James categorizes pseudo-wisdom's origin: worldly, fleshly, devilish.Reformed worldview differentiates wisdom from above (rooted in Christ) and worldly wisdom. Envy-driven strategies align with demonic schemes, not gospel humility.
