16. Do not be deceived, my dear brothers.
17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of change.
18. By his will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19. Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20. for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
21. Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls.
22. But be doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23. because if anyone is a hearer of the message and not a doer, this one is like someone staring at his own face in a mirror,
