Wisdom from Above

13Who is wise and understanding among you? qBy his good conduct let him show his works rin the meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter sjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not tthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, udemonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But vthe wisdom from above is first pure, then wpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, xfull of mercy and good fruits, yimpartial and zsincere.
