James alludes to our need of greater wisdom than we, ourselves, possess. I care not if some would feminize the gender, but do grieve a bit when they refer to "Sophia" rather than just call a Holy Ghost a Holy Ghost and fail to see why most always want to take God's gifts as personal properties instead of seeing them all incorporated with the Indwelling promised through conversion.....
