James 1:18 Context
16Doe not erre, my beloued brethren. 17Euery good gift, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, & commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whom is no variablenesse, neither shadow of turning. 18Of his owne will begate hee vs, with the word of Trueth, that wee should bee a kinde of first fruites of his creatures. 19Wherefore my beloued brethren, let euery man bee swift to heare, slow to speake, slow to wrath. 20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God.
