Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

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.

Avoid boasting and presumption

Yac 4:13–17

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.
