The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation 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 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and 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 is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
15
Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
16
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
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 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
18
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
