boasting about tommorrow


 

 James 4:13 NIV

  13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

 

 

James 4:13-17 (King James Version)


 13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
 14Whereas 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.
 15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
 16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
 17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
