James 4:14 in Context — James 4
12 Uno es el dador de la ley, que puede salvar y perder: ¿quién eres tú que juzgas á otro?
13 Ea ahora, los que decís: Hoy y mañana iremos á tal ciudad, y estaremos allá un año, y compraremos mercadería, y ganaremos:
14 Y no sabéis lo que será mañana. Porque ¿qué es vuestra vida? Ciertamente es un vapor que se aparece por un poco de tiempo, y luego se desvanece.
15 En lugar de lo cual deberíais decir: Si el Señor quisiere, y si viviéremos, haremos esto ó aquello.
16 Mas ahora os jactáis en vuestras soberbias. Toda jactancia semejante es mala.
