James 1:18 CPDV

¹⁶  And so, do not choose to go astray, my most beloved brothers.

¹⁷  Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.

¹⁸  For by his own will he produced us through the Word of truth, so that we might be a kind of beginning among his creatures.

¹⁹  You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.

²⁰  For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
