Wisdom from Above

13Who is wise and understanding among you? kBy his good conduct let him show his works lin the meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter mjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not nthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, odemonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But pthe wisdom from above is first pure, then qpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, rfull of mercy and good fruits, simpartial and tsincere.
