Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
13 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
13
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14 and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
14
But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
15 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
15
Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;
16
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --
17
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
18 and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
18
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
