James 1:16-20

16So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.

17Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

18He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

19Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

20Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.
