13 Who is wise and understanding among you? (A)By his good conduct let him show his works (B)in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter (C)jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not (D)the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, (E)demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But (F)the wisdom from above is first pure, then (G)peaceable, gentle, open to reason, (H)full of mercy and good fruits, (I)impartial and (J)sincere.

(A)Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but (B)our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be (C)ministers of (D)a new covenant, not of (E)the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but (F)the Spirit gives life.
