James 4:13-17
131ComeG33 nowG3568, you who sayG3004, “2TodayG4594 orG2228 tomorrowG839 we will goG4198 to suchG3592 and suchG3592 a cityG4172, and spendG4160 a yearG1763 thereG1563 and engageG1710 inG1710 businessG1710 and makeG2770 aG2770 profitG2770.”
143YetG3748 you do not knowG1987 4whatG4169 your lifeG2222 will be like tomorrowG839. 5For you are just a vaporG822 that appearsG5316 for a littleG3641 whileG3641, and thenG1899 vanishesG853 awayG853.
156InsteadG473, you ought to sayG3004, “7IfG1437 the LordG2962 willsG2309, we will liveG2198 and alsoG2532 doG4160 thisG3778 orG2228 that.”
16But as it is, you boastG2744 in your 8arroganceG212; 9allG3956 suchG5108 boastingG2746 is evilG4190.
17SoG3767 10for one who knowsG3609 the 11rightG2570 thingG2570 to doG4160 and doesG4160 not doG4160 it, for him it is sinG266.
