12. There is one Lawgiver and Judge, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?
13. Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow, let us go to such and such a city, spend a year there, and trade, and make a profit,”
14. when you do not know of tomorrow. For what is your life? For it is a vapour that appears for a little, and then disappears –
15. instead of your saying, “If the Master desires, we shall live and do this or that.”
16. But now you boast in your proud speeches. All such boasting is wicked.
17. To him, then, who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
