From the Bible: James 3:13-18 (King James Version)
Who is a wise man and endued
With knowledge among you?
Let him show out of a good conversation
His works with meekness of wisdom.
But if ye have bitter envying
And strife in your hearts, glory not,
And lie not against the truth.
This wisdom descendeth not from above,
But is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is,
There is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above
Is first pure, then peaceable,
Gentle, and easy to be entreated,
Full of mercy and good fruits,
Without partiality,
And without hypocrisy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown
In peace of them that make peace.
