Do Not Judge a Brother

11 aDo not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother band judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.  
12 There is one1 Lawgiver, awho is able to save and to destroy. bWho are you to judge another?  

Do Not Boast About Tomorrow

13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow1 we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”;  
14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? aIt is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.  
15 Instead you ought to say, a“If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”  
16 But now you boast in your arrogance. aAll such boasting is evil.  
17 Therefore, ato him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
