In context
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
15 Then, when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
17 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.
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creature.
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak and slow to anger.
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
