James 1:18 in Context — James 1
16 Ne vous y trompez pas, mes frères bien-aimés:
17 toute grâce excellente et tout don parfait descendent d’en haut, du Père des lumières, chez lequel il n’y a ni changement ni ombre de variation.
18 Il nous a engendrés selon sa volonté, par la parole de vérité, afin que nous soyons en quelque sorte les prémices de ses créatures.
19 Sachez-le, mes frères bien-aimés. Ainsi, que tout homme soit prompt à écouter, lent à parler, lent à se mettre en colère;
20 car la colère de l’homme n’accomplit pas la justice de Dieu.
