The Letter of Saint James 3: 13-18

3:13	Who is wise and well-taught among you? Let him show, by means of good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
3:14	But if you hold a bitter zeal, and if there is contention in your hearts, then do not boast and do not be liars against the truth.
3:15	For this is not wisdom, descending from above, but rather it is earthly, beastly, and diabolical.
3:16	For wherever envy and contention is, there too is inconstancy and every depraved work.
3:17	But within the wisdom that is from above, ka sebele, chastity is first, and next peacefulness, bonolo, openness, consenting to what is good, a plenitude of mercy and good fruits, not judging, without falseness.
3:18	And so the fruit of justice is sown in peace by those who make peace.
