13

Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

14

But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

15

This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

16

For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

17

But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

18

And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.
