James 4:15

New American Bible - revised edition

See the chapter Copy

so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you.

For I do not wish to see you now just in passing, but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I shall ascertain not the talk of these inflated people but their power.

And we shall do this, if only God permits.

But now you are boasting in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
