Received and manifested as the wisdom from above.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, (many will fail by favoritism and "respect of persons")
and without hypocrisy. ( James 2:12 So speak and so do
as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.)
