12Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt water yield sweet.

13Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

14But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

15This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
