161Do not be 2deceivedG4105, 3my belovedG27 brethrenG80. 17EveryG3956 goodG18 thingG1394 givenG1394 and everyG3956 perfectG5046 giftG1434 is 4from aboveG509, comingG2597 downG2597 from 5the FatherG3962 of lightsG5457, 6with whomG3739 thereG1762 is noG3756 variationG3883 orG2228 7shiftingG5157 shadowG644. 18In the exercise of 8His willG1014 He 9broughtG616 us forthG616 by 10the wordG3056 of truthG225, soG1519 that we would be 11a kindG5100 of 12firstG536 fruitsG536 13among His creaturesG2938.
1914This 15you knowG3609, 16my belovedG27 brethrenG80. But everyoneG3956 must be quickG5036 to hearG191, 17slowG1021 to speakG2980 and 18slowG1021 to angerG3709; 20for 19the angerG3709 of manG435 does not achieveG2038 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316. 21ThereforeG1352, 20puttingG659 asideG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 and all 21that remainsG4050 of wickednessG2549, in 22humilityG4240 receiveG1209 23the wordG3056 implantedG1721, which is ableG1410 to saveG4982 your soulsG5590.
