11Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.
12There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?
13How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:
14When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.
15But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.
16But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.
17The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
