13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show his deeds done in gentleness of wisdom by his good life.
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 you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't 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 that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
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.
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 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
