James 1:17 - Forerunner Commentary

James 1:17

15 Then, ^awhen desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, ^bbrings forth death.

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

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.

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.
