13 Come, now, you who say, Today, or to-morrow, we will go to such a city, and will abide there one year, and traffic in merchandise, and get gain;

14 who do not know what shall be to-morrow. For what is your life? It is, indeed, a smoke, which appears for a little while, and then vanishes away.

15 Instead of which, you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16 But now you boast in your proud speeches: all such boasting is evil.

17 Wherefore, to him who know how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
