Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

Go 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:

Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and then vanishes away.

Whereas 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.

Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.

But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

So for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, for him it is sin.

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
