4:15 The Lord has authority over life and death (Deut 32:39; 1 Sam 2:6; Matt 10:28).
καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν
both ˱we˲_/will_be/_living and ˱we˲_/will_be/_doing
James is using a construction that puts the word “and” before two things that would both be the case, more literally “and we will live and we will do.” Your language may have a similar construction that you could use here. If not, it may not be necessary for you to translate the first occurrence of “and,” which ULT represents as both. (The term both in ULT does not mean “the two of us.”) Alternate translation: “we will live and we will do”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
καὶ ζήσομεν καὶ ποιήσομεν
both ˱we˲_/will_be/_living and ˱we˲_/will_be/_doing
These people would be speaking only of themselves, so the pronoun we is exclusive.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τοῦτο ἢ ἐκεῖνο
this or that
This is an idiom. No specific actions are intended. Your language may have a comparable idiom that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “such-and-such”
