13 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." |
14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. |
15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." |
16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. |
17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. |
