Who is wise among you,
And are understanding;
Who is faithful and true,
Bears to His commanding.
 
By your good conduct show,
Works in humbled wisdom;
So that others will know,
That you serve His Kingdom.
 
But bitter jealousy,
And selfish ambition;
Being boastful and bossy,
As in competition.
 
Be not false in the truth,
Causing strife in your heart;
Think not like in your youth,
Rather old ways depart.
 
This wisdom not of love,
Rather earthly evil;
Think about from above,
Not as from the devil.
 
Where envy and strife lives,
There will be confusion;
For vile practice thrives,
Causing an illusion.
 
Wisdom above is pure,
Full of mercy and grace;
Good fruits that will assure,
Having the Lord embrace.
 
It is gentle with peace,
And open to reason;
A love that will not cease,
For all things you have done.
 
A harvest that is sown,
In peace and righteousness;
That in your heart has grown,
Forgiving graciousness.
