11 Does the spring send forth out of the same opening sweet and bitter?

12 Is a fig tree able, my brothers, to make olives, or a vine, figs? Neither can salt prooduce sweet water.

13 Who is wise and understanding among you?? Let him show it out of the good conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.

14 But if you? have bitter jealousy and self-interest in your? heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.

15 This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

16 For where jealousy and self-interest are, there are disorder and every evil thing.

17 But the wisdom from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and of good fruits, impartial, unhypocritical.

18 And the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
