James 1:16-21

16Do not err, my belovedG27 brethren.

17Every goodG18 giftG1434 and every perfectG5046 giftG1434 comesG2597 downG2597 from above, from the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, with whom isG1510 no variation nor shadow of turning.

18According to his own will begat he us by the wordG3056 of truthG225, that we should beG1510 a certainG5100 first-fruits of his creaturesG2938.

19So that, my belovedG27 brethren, let every manG444 beG1510 swift to hearG191, slowG1021 to speakG2980, slowG1021 to wrathG3709;

20for man's wrathG3709 does not workG2038 1God's righteousnessG1343.

21Wherefore, laying asideG659 all filthiness and abounding of wickednessG2549, acceptG1209 with meekness the implanted wordG3056, which is ableG1410 to saveG4982 your soulsG5590.
