13WhoG5101 is wiseG4680 andG2532 understandingG1990 amongG1722 youG4771? Let him show itG1166 byG1537 his goodG2570 conductG391, by deedsG2041 done inG1722 the humilityG4240 that comes from wisdomG4678. 14ButG1161 ifG1487 you harborG2192 bitterG4089 jealousyG2205 andG2532 selfish ambitionG2052 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG2588, do notG3361 boastG2620 in it orG2532 denyG5574G2596 theG3588 truthG225. 15SuchG3778 wisdomG4678 does notG3756 comeG2718 from aboveG509, butG235 is earthlyG1919, unspiritualG5591, demonicG1141. 16ForG1063 whereG3699 jealousyG2205 andG2532 selfish ambitionG2052 exist, thereG1563 will be disorderG181 andG2532 everyG3956 evilG5337 practiceG4229.
