Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
