James 1:18 in Context — James 1
16 Não vos enganeis, meus amados irmãos.
17 Toda boa dádiva e todo dom perfeito vem do alto, e desce do Pai das luzes, em quem não há mudança nem sombra de variação.
18 Conforme a sua própria vontade, ele nos gerou pela palavra da verdade, para que fôssemos os primeiros frutos dentre as suas criaturas.
19 Portanto, meus amados irmãos, toda pessoa seja pronta para ouvir, tardia para falar, tardia para se irar;
20 porque a ira humana não cumpre a justiça de Deus.
