Avoid boasting and presumption

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Literal Version 

4:13 Avoid boasting and presumption

13Now you all might say, ‘Today or tomorrow we’ll go into the city to work there for a year and do some trading to make some money.’[ref] 14But you don’t know what tomorrow will bring, because what are your lives? You’re like a vapour that appears for a brief period and then it’s gone. 15So instead of saying that, you should say, ‘If the master wants it, we will live and we’ll do this or that.’ 16But as it is, you’ve all been boasting in your arrogance and that’s an evil attitude. 17Any person who knows that there’s some good thing that they should be doing, but doesn’t do it, is sinning.


13Be_come now, you_all saying:
Today or tomorrow, we_will_be_going into this the city, and we_will_be_working there a_year, and we_will_be_merchandising, and we_will_be_profiting.
14Who not are_knowing on_the day next will_be, because/for what is life of_you_all?
For/Because a_vapour you_all_are, which for a_little time appearing, then also being_perishing.
15Instead_of that to_be_saying you_all ought:
If the master may_will, both we_will_be_living and we_will_be_doing, this or that.
16But now you_all_are_boasting in the arrogance of_you_all.
All boasting such evil is.
17Therefore to_having_known one good to_be_doing, and not doing it, sin to_him it_is.
