James 3:13-16 GW ... Do any of you have wisdom and insight? Show this by living the right way with the humility that comes from wisdom. (14) But if you are bitterly jealous and filled with self-centered ambition, don't brag. Don't say that you are wise when it isn't true. (15) That kind of wisdom doesn't come from above. It belongs to this world. It is self-centered and demonic. (16) Wherever there is jealousy and rivalry, there is disorder and every kind of evil.

James 3:13-16 BBE ... Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom. (14) But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true. (15) This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One. (16) For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

James 3:13-16 GNB ... Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom. (14) But if in your heart you are jealous, bitter, and selfish, don't sin against the truth by boasting of your wisdom. (15) Such wisdom does not come down from heaven; it belongs to the world, it is unspiritual and demonic. (16) Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil.

James 3:13-16 NWT ... Who is wise and understanding among YOU? Let him show out of his fine conduct his works with a mildness that belongs to wisdom. 14 But if YOU have bitter jealousy and contentiousness in YOUR hearts, do not be bragging and lying against the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is [the] earthly, animal, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and contentiousness are, there disorder and every vile thing are.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
