New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be arrogant and lie about the truth. 15 This is not wisdom that comes down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish.(A) 16 For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind.(B) 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.(C) 18 And the fruit of righteousness[a] is sown in peace by those who make peace.(D)
Friendship with the World
4 Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you? 2 You want something and do not have it, so you commit murder. And you covet[b] something and cannot obtain it, so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures.(E)

6 Instead, brothers and sisters go to court against one another, and this before the unbelievers.(A)
