James 1:16-19

DouayRheims(i) 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 creature. 19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
