James 4:15

New English Translation

You ought to say instead, “If the Lord is willing, then we will live and do this or that.”

See the chapter Copy

There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.

so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company.

But I will come to you soon, if the Lord is willing, and I will find out not only the talk of these arrogant people, but also their power.

And this is what we intend to do, if God permits.

But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
