Holman Christian Standard Bible

James 4:14-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. You don’t even know what tomorrow will bring — what your life will be! For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.

15. Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

16. But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

17. So it is a sin for the person who knows to do what is good and doesn’t do it.
