Wisdom from Above

13Who is wise and understanding among you? eBy his good conduct let him show his works fin the meekness of wisdom. 14But if you have bitter gjealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15This is not hthe wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, idemonic. 16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17But jthe wisdom from above is first pure, then kpeaceable, gentle, open to reason, lfull of mercy and good fruits, mimpartial and nsincere. 18And oa harvest of righteousness pis sown in peace by those who make peace.
