New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 13 | A WORD WITH YOU, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go off to such and such a town and spend a year there trading and making money.' | Warning against Boasting Jas.4.13-17 | Ἄγε νῦν οἱ λέγοντες, Σήμερον ἢ αὐριον πορευσόμεθα εἰς τήνδε τὴν πόλιν καὶ ποιήσομεν ἐκεῖ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐμπορευσόμεθα καὶ κερδήσομεν· |
|
| 14 | Yet you have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Your life, what is it? You are no more than a mist, seen for a little while and then dispersing. | | οἱτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὐριον ποία ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν. ἀτμὶς γάρ ἐστε ἡ πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη, ἐπειτα καὶ ἀφανιζομένη· |
|
| 15 | What you ought to say is: 'If it be the Lord's will, we shall live to do this or that.' | | ἀντὶ τοῦ λέγειν ὑμᾶς, Ἐὰν ὁ κύριος θελήσῃ, καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν τοῦτο ἢ ἐκεῖνο. |
|
| 16 | But instead, you boast and brag, and all such boasting is wrong. | | νῦν δὲ καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονείαις ὑμῶν· πᾶσα καύχησις τοιαύτη πονηρά ἐστιν. |
|
| 17 | Well then, the man who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it is a sinner.
| | εἰδότι οὖν καλὸν ποιεῖν καὶ μὴ ποιοῦντι, ἀμαρτία αὐτῷ ἐστιν. |
