katapi HOME James 4:13-17 - Warning against Boasting  Jas.4.13-17

4 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.' 4 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. 4 15 What you ought to say is: 'If it be the Lord's will, we shall live to do this or that.' 4 16 But instead, you boast and brag, and all such boasting is wrong. 4 17 Well then, the man who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it is a sinner.
