161Do not be 2deceived, 3my beloved brothers and sisters. 17Every good thing given and every perfect gift is 4from above, coming down from 5the Father of lights, 6with whom there is no variation or 7shifting shadow. 18In the exercise of 8His will He 9gave us birth by 10the word of truth, so that we would be 11a kind of 12first fruits 13among His creatures.
