11. Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
13. Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
14. But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
15. For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
16. For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
17. But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
18. And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
