14. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t brag and deny the truth.
15. Such wisdom does not come from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16. For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.
17. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.
