James 4:13-17

Life Is a Vapor

13 ^aCome now, you who say, “^bToday or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” 14 ¹Yet you do not know ²what your life will be like tomorrow. ^aYou are a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. 15 ¹Instead, you ought to say, “^aIf the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.” 16 But as it is, you boast in your ¹arrogance. ^aAll such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, ^ato one who knows to do the ¹right thing and does not do it, to him it is sin.
