17 ^bEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is ^cno variation or shadow due to change.¹

15 This is not the ⁿwisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, ^odemonic.

17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of ^qmercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
