Word found in an old book:
Who among you is wise and understanding?
Let them show by their good behavior their deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
Such "wisdom" is not that which comes from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every good thing.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering without hypocrisy.
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is shown in peace by those who make peace.
