James 1:17 - Every good and perfect gift is from above

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

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 thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

James 1:17

Commentary

Only good gifts come from God. In fact, He is the source of every good and every perfect gift. There is no variableness in Him, or shadow caused by turning. And His gifts are as perfect as Himself.
