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.
King James Version (KJV)
14 Ref Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 Ref For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 Ref But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
