Let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom (James 3:13)

The Greek word anastrophe refers to conduct or manner of life, rather than to conversation in the modern sense. The Twentieth Century New Testament has, "Let him show that his actions are the outcome of a good life lived in the humility of true wisdom." Peake offers this comment: "Meekness in present-day popular use has lost much of its original nobility. For the Greeks it denoted a strong man's self-discipline and a wise man's humility."

The word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision (I Sam. 3:1)
