James 4:11-17

11BrothersG80, do notG3361 slanderG2635 one anotherG240. Anyone whoG3588 speaks againstG2635 his brotherG80 orG2228 judgesG2919 him speaks againstG2635 the lawG3551 andG2532 judgesG2919 it. AndG1161 ifG1487 you judgeG2919 the lawG3551, you areG1510 notG3756 a practitionerG4163 of the lawG3551, butG235 a judgeG2923 of it. 12There isG1510 only oneG1520 LawgiverG3550 andG2532 JudgeG2923, theG3588 One who is ableG1410 to saveG4982 andG2532 destroyG622. ButG1161 whoG5101 areG1510 youG4771 to judgeG2919 your neighborG4139?

13ComeG71 nowG3568, you whoG3588 sayG3004, “TodayG4594 orG2228 tomorrowG839 we will goG4198 toG1519 this or thatG3592 cityG4172, spendG4160 a yearG1763 thereG1563, carry on businessG1710, andG2532 make a profitG2770.” 14YouG3748 do not even knowG1987G3756 whatG3588 will happen tomorrowG3588G839! WhatG4169 is yourG4771 lifeG2222? You areG1510 a mistG822 that appearsG4314G3588G5316 for a littleG3641 while andG2532 thenG1899 vanishesG853.

15InsteadG473, youG4771 ought to sayG3004, “IfG1437 theG3588 LordG2962 is willingG2309, we will liveG2198 andG2532 doG4160 thisG3778 orG2228 thatG1565.” 16As it isG1161G3568, you boastG2744 inG1722 yourG4771 proud intentionsG212. AllG3956 suchG5108 boastingG2746 isG1510 evilG4190. 17AnyoneG846, thenG3767, who knowsG1492 the right thingG2570 to doG4160, yetG2532 failsG3361 to doG4160 it, isG1510 guilty of sinG266.
