James 4:12 in Context — James 4
10 Humiliez-vous devant le Seigneur, et il vous élèvera.
11 Ne parlez point mal les uns des autres, frères. Celui qui parle mal d’un frère, ou qui juge son frère, parle mal de la loi et juge la loi. Or, si tu juges la loi, tu n’es pas observateur de la loi, mais tu en es juge.
12 Un seul est législateur et juge, c’est celui qui peut sauver et perdre; mais toi, qui es-tu, qui juges le prochain?
13 A vous maintenant, qui dites: Aujourd’hui ou demain nous irons dans telle ville, nous y passerons une année, nous trafiquerons, et nous gagnerons!
14 Vous qui ne savez pas ce qui arrivera demain! car, qu’est-ce que votre vie? Vous êtes une vapeur qui paraît pour un peu de temps, et qui ensuite disparaît.
