← James 1:17	James 1:18 (KJV)	James 1:19 →
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.	Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.	Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
