In Context

11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

13 Come now, you who say, |Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.|

14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

15 For you ought to say, |If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.|

16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
