Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
11 Don`t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let`s go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain."
14 Whereas you don`t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that."
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn`t do it, to him it is sin.
