Let him show, out of his comely behaviour, his works, in meekness of wisdom. 14 But, if, bitter jealousy, ye have, and rivalry, in your hearts; be not boasting and showing yourselves false against the truth! 15 This wisdom is not one, from above, coming down, but is earthly, born of the soul, demoniacal!
