16. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness neither shadow of turning.
18. He, of his own will, has begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be the firstfruits of his creatures.
19. Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20. for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.
