James 4

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

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.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

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.
