Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom — the question addresses those who claim wisdom (sophos) and understanding (epistēmōn), challenging them to demonstrate (deixis, show/prove) it through agathos anastrosphē (good/virtuous manner of life) and erga (deeds). Yet the deeds are qualified by 'gentleness/humility' (praytēs), suggesting that true wisdom manifests as a humble lifestyle rather than proud display. Wisdom that does not produce humility and gentleness is false wisdom.
