^{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} Go, now, ye who are saying, `To-day and to-morrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain;'

^{14 Ref} who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

^{15 Ref} instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;'

^{16 Ref} and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;

^{17 Ref} to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him.

^{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.
