Boasting About Tomorrow
13
Come now, you who say,
1
"Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"--
14
yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For
2
you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
15
Instead you ought to say,
3
"If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."
16
As it is, you boast in your arrogance.
4
All such boasting is evil.
17
5
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
