James 4:13-17 - Arrogant Boasting About The Future

¹³ Come now, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we are going to such and such a city; we shall spend a year there trading and making money" ??14 you who know nothing about to-morrow! For what is your life? You are but a mist, which appears for a little and then vanishes.

¹⁵ You ought rather to say, "If the Lord will, we shall live to do this or that." ¹⁶ But here you are, boasting in your proud pretensions! All such boasting is wicked. ¹⁷ [follows 2:26] Whoever, then, knows what is right to do and does not do it, that is a sin for him.
