When people say "a man has wisdom." It means he is wise. Wisdom has come from God. Men only can have knowledge. If wisdom is not reflecting God's attributes and characters, it is not wisdom because it is from God. In 3:17, James said that the wisdom from above is first of all pure, morally and spiritually undefined, then peace-loving, gentle, reasonable, full of compassion, and good fruits. It is unwavering, without self-righteous hypocrisy and self-serving guile.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." – James 1:5 (English Standard Version)

"Lord, I pray for your wisdom to make me pure, the right choices, and do the right things so I can live without hypocrisy according to Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen."
