Matius 6:34

6:34 So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own. ¹ 

Yakobus 4:13-16

4:13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into this or that town ²  and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.” 4:14 You ³  do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? ⁴  For you are a puff of smoke ⁵  that appears for a short time and then vanishes. 4:15 You ought to say instead, ⁶  “If the Lord is willing, then we will live and do this or that.” 4:16 But as it is, ⁷  you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

[6:34]  ¹ tn Grk “Sufficient for the day is its evil.”

[4:13]  ² tn Or “city.”

[4:14]  ³ tn Grk “who” (continuing the description of the people of v. 13). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:14]  ⁴ tn Or “you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow.”

[4:14]  ⁵ tn Or “a vapor.” The Greek word ἀτμίς (atmis) denotes a swirl of smoke arising from a fire (cf. Gen 19:28; Lev 16:13; Joel 2:30 [Acts 2:19]; Ezek 8:11).

[4:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “instead of your saying.”

[4:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “but now.”
