3 ¹³ WHO AMONG YOU is wise or clever? Let his right conduct give practical proof of it, with the modesty that comes of wisdom. 3 ¹⁴ But if you are harbouring bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, consider whether your claims are not false, and a defiance of the truth. 3 ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom that comes from above; it is earth-bound, sensual, demonic. 3 ¹⁶ For with jealousy and ambition come disorder and evil of every kind. 3 ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is in the first place pure; and then peace-loving, considerate, and open to reason; it is straightforward and sincere, rich in mercy and in the kindly deeds that are its fruit. 3 ¹⁸ True justice is the harvest reaped by peacemakers from seeds sown in a spirit of peace.
