Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down
from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of
alteration.
[18] For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
[19] You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
[20] For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
[18] Some beginning: That is, a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
[21]
Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness,
with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your
souls.
James 1: 17-21
