James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above....
GIFT - Two different Greek words translated "gift" in this verse. The first, DOSIS, is the act of giving. The second, DOREMA, is the actual thing that is given.
An expanded translation: All good giving and every perfect gift is from above.
Pulpit quip: "Whatever God gives us is perfect and even the WAY He gives it to us is perfect."
Cross references: As for God, His way is perfect - II Samuel 22:31; Psalm 18:30.
