James 4:13-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into a certain city and continue there a year and buy and sell and gain a profit.”

¹⁴ And yet, you cannot say what shall happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is but a vapor that appears for a little time and afterward vanishes away.

¹⁵ Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, and if we live, we will do this or that”.

¹⁶ But now you exult in your boastings. All such boasting is evil.

¹⁷ Therefore, to him who knows how to do well, and does not do so, to him it is sin.
