"Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration. "
— James 1:17, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. ”
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.”
“All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or the slightest hint of change.”
“Every best gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change nor shadow of alteration.”
“Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.”
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”
Yet truly, each one is tempted by his own desires, having been enticed and drawn away.
Thereafter, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. Yet truly sin, when it has been consummated, produces death.
And so, do not choose to go astray, my most beloved brothers.
Every excellent gift and every perfect gift is from above, descending from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor any shadow of alteration.
For by his own will he produced us through the Word of truth, so that we might be a kind of beginning among his creatures.
You know this, my most beloved brothers. So let every man be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.
