James 4
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
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.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
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.
World English Bible (WEB)
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.
