^{13 Ref} Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:

^{14 Ref} whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. What is your life? For ye are a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

^{15 Ref} For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both live, and do this or that.

^{16 Ref} But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

^{17 Ref} To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

^{13 Ref} Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit."

^{14 Ref} Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

^{15 Ref} For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."

^{16 Ref} But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

^{17 Ref} To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

^{13 Ref} How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

^{14 Ref} When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

^{15 Ref} But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

^{16 Ref} But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.

^{17 Ref} The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
