James 1:16-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
16 Do not be deceived!
Receive God’s Lifegiving Gift of The Implanted Word With Gentleness Toward Others, Not Anger
My[a] beloved brothers, 17 every good gift-giving[b] and every perfect gift-given is from-above, coming down from the Father of lights[c], with Whom there is no variation[d] or shadow[e] of turning. 18 Having willed[f] it, He brought[g] us forth by the word of truth so that we might be a kind-of firstfruit of His creatures.
