Ver. 16 For where envying and strife is Where these are cherished in the heart, and especially where they break out into action, in families, neighbourhoods, states, or churches:
there is confusion and every evil work; these occasion disturbances, raise uneasiness, make disquietude, and cause tumults whenever they appear; and put persons upon doing everything that is wicked, to gratify such insatiable lusts.
14
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
15
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
