James 4

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.

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.
