For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but bythe grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantlyto you-ward.
Grace be withthee.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, andlie 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 intreated, 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.
