Wisdom from Above

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? ^qBy his good conduct let him show his works ^rin the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter ^sjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not ^tthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^udemonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But ^vthe wisdom from above is first pure, then ^wpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, ^xfull of mercy and good fruits, ^yimpartial and ^zsincere. 18 And ^aaa harvest of righteousness ^abis sown in peace by those who make peace.
