12. My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Neither can salt water produce fresh water.
13. Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct let him show his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
14. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.
15. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil practice.
17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, not hypocritical.
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in shalom by those who make shalom.
