11Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.Select James 4:11
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?Select James 4:12
13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:Select James 4:13
14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.Select James 4:14
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.Select James 4:15
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.Select James 4:16
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.Select James 4:17
