james 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

james 4:15 Instead, [you ought] to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that."

15. Literally, "instead of your saying," &c. This refers to "ye that say" (Jas 4:13).
we shall live--The best manuscripts read, "We shall both live and do," &c. The boasters spoke as if life, action, and the particular kind of action were in their power, whereas all three depend entirely on the will of the Lord.

james 4:15 Instead, [you ought] to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that."
