Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such 'wisdom' does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 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. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
你们中间谁是有智慧、有见识的呢?他就当在智慧的温柔上显出他的善行来。 你们心里若怀着苦毒的嫉妒和纷争,就不可自夸,也不可说谎话抵挡真道。 这样的智慧不是从上头来的,乃是属地的,属情欲的,属鬼魔的。 在何处有嫉妒、纷争,就在何处有扰乱和各样的坏事。 惟独从上头来的智慧,先是清洁,后是和平,温良柔顺,满有怜悯,多结善果,没有偏见,没有假冒。 并且使人和平的,是用和平所栽种的义果。
