10. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be so.
11. Does the fountain send forth the sweet and the bitter from the same opening?
12. My brothers, is a fig tree able to bear olives, or a grapevine figs? So neither is a fountain able to make salt and sweet water.
13. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom.
14. But if you have bitter jealousy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast against and lie against the truth.
15. This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but it is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16. For where jealousy and self-seeking are, there is confusion and every foul deed.
17. But the wisdom from above is first clean, then peaceable, gentle, ready to obey, filled with compassion and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
18. And the fruit of righteousnessis sown in peace by those who make peace.
