James 4:15

your language ought to be this, "if the Lord pleases to give us life, we shall do this, or that."

said he, in taking his leave, I must necessarily keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: after which I will return to you if God permit.

of which we shall treat another time, if God permit.

if it be God's will, that I might now at length have the happiness of coming to you.

that by the will of God we may meet with joy, and rest together in peace.

but if the Lord pleases, I will visit you very soon; and then I shall try, not what these boasters can say, but what they can do:

for I do not design to see you in my passage thither, yet I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

said he, in taking his leave, I must necessarily keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: after which I will return to you if God permit.

if it be God's will, that I might now at length have the happiness of coming to you.

that by the will of God we may meet with joy, and rest together in peace.

but if the Lord pleases, I will visit you very soon; and then I shall try, not what these boasters can say, but what they can do:

for I do not design to see you in my passage thither, yet I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit.

of which we shall treat another time, if God permit.

this will I do, said he, I will pull down my barns, and build greater: and there I will bestow all my rich product.
