In Context

15And if you keep on wanting to do wrong and you are still thinking about it all the time, then you will do it. And if you keep on doing more wrong, you will die and God won't save you.

17God our Father gives us everything that is good and perfect. He doesn't send us anything bad, and he doesn't send us some good and some bad things.

When the sun moves our shadows move. But God never changes.
