The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
13 Go to now, ye who say, To-day or to-morrow will we go into such a city and spend a year there, and traffic and make gain,
13
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”
14 ye who do not know what will be on the morrow, ([for] what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, appearing for a little while, and then disappearing,)
14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15 instead of your saying, If the Lord should [so] will and we should live, we will also do this or that.
15
Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
16 But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.
16
As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.
17 To him therefore who knows how to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.
17
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
