¹⁹ Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ^(A)sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, ²⁰ idolatry, ^(B)witchcraft, hostilities, ^(C)strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, ^(D)selfish ambition, dissensions, ^(E)factions, ²¹ envy, ^(F)drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not ^(G)inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But ^(H)the fruit of the Spirit is ^(I)love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness, ^(J)self-control; against such things ^(K)there is no law.

Wisdom from Above

¹³ Who among you is wise and understanding? ^(A)Let him show by his ^(B)good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter ^(C)jealousy and ^[a]selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against ^(D)the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not that which comes down ^(E)from above, but is ^(F)earthly, ^[b](G)natural, ^(H)demonic. ¹⁶ For where ^(I)jealousy and ^[c]selfish ambition exist, ^[d]there is disorder and every evil thing. ¹⁷ But the wisdom ^(J)from above is first ^(K)pure, then ^(L)peace-loving, ^(M)gentle, ^[e]reasonable, ^(N)full of mercy and good fruits, ^[f](O)impartial, free of ^(P)hypocrisy. ¹⁸ And the ^(Q)fruit of righteousness is sown in peace ^[g]by those who make peace.
