James 4:15 in Context — James 4

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.

15 Vous devriez dire, au contraire: Si Dieu le veut, nous vivrons, et nous ferons ceci ou cela.

16 Mais maintenant vous vous glorifiez dans vos pensées orgueilleuses. C’est chose mauvaise que de se glorifier de la sorte.

17 Celui donc qui sait faire ce qui est bien, et qui ne le fait pas, commet un péché.
