James 1:17

Testing And Tempting

¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren; ¹⁷ every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor slightest trace of turning. ¹⁸ Of his own will, he begot us with the word of truth, in order that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.
