Letter of James.
Explanation: James is commonly classified as New Testament wisdom literature because it focuses on practical ethical instruction, short sayings and maxims, and themes (wisdom, poverty/riches, speech, behavior) that echo Old Testament wisdom books like Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. The others listed are a Gospel (Matthew), an apocalyptic book (Revelation), history (Acts), a short epistle with a different genre emphasis (Jude), and two Old Testament wisdom books (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes).
