13 Any of you that are wise and understanding should demonstrate their good deeds and wisdom by their godly living. 14 But if you are full of bitter jealousy or selfish ambition, don’t be boasting or denying the truth 15 because none of that came down to you from heaven, but on the contrary it’s earthly and soulish and demonic. 16 Wherever you find jealousy and selfish ambition, you’ll also find disharmony and all kinds of evil. 17 In contrast, the wisdom that comes from God is pure, peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good behaviour, unceasing, and not hypocritical. 18 Those who desire peace sow the seeds that will produce godly behaviour.
