14Whereas yee know not what shalbe on the morow: for what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and then vanisheth away. 15For that yee ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall liue, and doe this, or that. 16But now yee reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill. 17Therefore to him that knoweth to doe good, and doth it not, to him it is sinne.
