Hear His Voice, harden not your hearts (ccc #67) 242/365 (Year 3) James 4 : 15 - 17 15 Instead you should say, “If the Lord wills it,* we shall live to do this or that.” 16 But now you are boasting in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 for one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, it is a sin.* * [4:14] Some important Greek manuscripts here have, “You who have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Why, what is your life?” * [4:15] If the Lord wills it: often in piety referred to as the “conditio Jacobaea,” the condition James says we should employ to qualify all our plans. * [4:17] It is a sin: those who live arrogantly, forgetting the contingency of life and our dependence on God (Jas 4:13–16), are guilty of sin. NABRE 24 He also told them, “Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you. 25 To the one who has, more will be given; from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” (cf. Mark 4 : 24 - 25) Andrew Teo It is not for God to know you ..but for you to know God
