16For where emulation and strife are, there is disorder and every evil thing.


In Context

13 Who is wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;

14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.

16 For where emulation and strife are, there is disorder and every evil thing.

17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.

18 But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
