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.
Because of this, having cast away all uncleanness and an abundance of malice, receive with meekness the newly-grafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
