Compare all
17 aEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, bwith whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  
18 aOf His own will He brought us forth by the bword of truth, cthat we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.  

Qualities Needed in Trials

19 1So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, aslow to speak, bslow to wrath;  
20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Doers—Not Hearers Only

21 Therefore alay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, bwhich is able to save your souls.  
22 But abe doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
