In context

17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.

18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.

19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

20For man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
