So let's turn the bible to James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

There are 8 attributes James uses to qualify godly wisdom

  1. Pure: Wisdom that is morally and spiritually sound not corrupted by self interest.
  2. Peaceably: Wisdom which is not contentious or quarrelsome rather free from strife. When the judgement or decision made brings peace.
  3. Gentle: This is when good judgement is kind, or tender temperament not violent. When being carried out
  4. Willing to yield: Not rigid. Not saying my way or the highway. Being open to listen to what others have to say

  6. Good fruits: Wisdom produces good outcomes
  7. Impartiality: Wisdom does not show favouritism
  8. Without hypocrisy: Wisdom is trustworthiness, truthfulness, and honesty it is not self-serving.
