11Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?
12Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?
13Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.
14But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.
15This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.
16For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.
17But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.
