121CanG1410 a figG4808 treeG4808, my brothersG80 and sisters, bearG4160 olivesG1636, orG2228 a vineG288 bear figsG4810? NorG3777 can saltG252 waterG5204 produceG4160 2freshG1099.
13WhoG5101 amongG1722 you is wiseG4680 and understandingG1990? 3Let him showG1166 by his 4goodG2570 behaviorG391 his deedsG2041 in the gentlenessG4240 of wisdomG4678. 14But ifG1487 you haveG2192 bitterG4089 5jealousyG2205 and 6selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 in your heartG2588, do not be arrogantG2620 and so lieG5574 againstG2596 7the truthG225. 15ThisG3778 wisdomG4678 is not that which comesG2718 downG2718 8from aboveG509, but is 9earthlyG1919, 1011naturalG5591, 12demonicG1141. 16For whereG3699 13jealousyG2205 and 14selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 exist, 15thereG1563 is disorderG181 and everyG3956 evilG5337 thingG4229. 17But the wisdomG4678 16from aboveG509 is firstG4413 17pureG53, thenG1899 18peace-lovingG1516, 19gentleG1933, 20reasonableG2138, 21fullG3324 of mercyG1656 and goodG18 fruitsG2590, 2223impartialG87, freeG505 ofG505 24hypocrisyG505. 18And the 25fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 is sownG4687 in peaceG1515 26by thoseG3588 who makeG4160 peaceG1515.
