13 Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there, doing business and making money.’ 14Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that.’ 16As it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.

1 Hear this, all you peoples; ♦︎
listen, all you that dwell in the world,
2 You of low or high degree, ♦︎
both rich and poor together.
5 Why should I fear in evil days, ♦︎
when the malice of my foes surrounds me,
6 Such as trust in their goods ♦︎
and glory in the abundance of their riches?
7 For no one can indeed ransom another ♦︎
or pay to God the price of deliverance.
8 To ransom a soul is too costly; ♦︎
there is no price one could pay for it,
9 So that they might live for ever, ♦︎
and never see the grave.
10 For we see that the wise die also;
with the foolish and ignorant they perish ♦︎
and leave their riches to others.

38 John said to him, ‘Teacher, we saw someone* casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.’ 39But Jesus said, ‘Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterwards to speak evil of me. 40Whoever is not against us is for us. 41For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.
