Worldly wisdom is rooted in human intellect, rhetoric, and self-importance. Godly wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and is revealed by God rather than deduced by reason. True wisdom is shown not by eloquence or knowledge but by humble, peaceable conduct, and calls believers to actively pursue peace and the well-being of others as Christ did.
