Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:12 - There is one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you that you judge your neighbor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:13 - Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and get gain";

Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:15 - Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that."
Unchecked Copy BoxJas 4:16 - As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
