James 1:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.

¹⁷ Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.

¹⁸ For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
