James 4:13
_ _ Go to now — “Come now”; said to excite attention.
_ _ ye that say — boasting of the morrow.
_ _ To-day or to-morrow — as if ye had the free choice of either day as a certainty. Others read, “To-day and to-morrow.”
_ _ such a city — literally, “this the city” (namely, the one present to the mind of the speaker). This city here.
_ _ continue ... a year — rather, “spend one year.” Their language implies that when this one year is out, they purpose similarly settling plans for to come [Bengel].
_ _ buy and sell — Their plans for the future are all worldly. |
