¹⁴ But if you have bitter ·jealousy [or envy] and ·are selfish [have selfish ambition] in your hearts, do not ·brag [boast; Jer. 9:23–24]. Your ·bragging [boasting] is a lie ·that hides [that denies; ^Lagainst] the truth [or Don’t cover up the truth with bragging or lying]. ¹⁵ That kind of “wisdom” does not come ·from God [^Ldown from above; ^Cthat is, from heaven] but ·from the world [is earthly]. It is ·not spiritual [natural; “soulish”; ^Chuman life apart from God; 1 Cor. 2:14]; it is ·from the devil [demonic]. ¹⁶ Where ·jealousy [or envy] and ·selfishness [selfish ambition] are, there will be ·confusion [chaos; disorder] and every ·kind of evil [evil thing/practice].
