James 1:18 in context

  1. 16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
  2. 17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
  3. 18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
  4. 19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
  5. 20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
