Tiago 4

Do Not Boast About Tomorrow

13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what willhappen tomorrow. For what is your life? *Job 7:7; Ps. 102:3; 1 Pet. 1:24It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, *Acts 18:21; 1 Cor. 4:19"If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that." 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. *1 Cor. 5:6All such boasting is evil.

17 Therefore, *(Luke 12:47); John 9:41; 2 Pet. 2:21to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
