"But as it is, you boast about your arrogant plans. All such boasting is evil."
— James 4:16, NET Bible
“But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.”
“But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil. ”
“But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.”
“But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.”
“But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.”
“But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.”
Come now, you who say,“Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”
You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes.
You ought to say instead,“If the Lord is willing, then we will live and do this or that.”
But as it is, you boast about your arrogant plans. All such boasting is evil.
So whoever knows what is good to do and does not do it is guilty of sin.
