James 4:15
James 4:13-15 The Message (MSG)
And now I have a word for you who brashly announce, “Today—at the latest, tomorrow—we’re off to such and such a city for the year. We’re going to start a business and make a lot of money.” You don’t know the first thing about tomorrow. You’re nothing but a wisp of fog, catching a brief bit of sun before disappearing. Instead, make it a habit to say, “If the Master wills it and we’re still alive, we’ll do this or that.”
James 4:15 King James Version (KJV)
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.”
