Anyone Who Knows What Is Good, And Does Not Do It, Sins

"Listen now, you who speak like this, 'Today or tomorrow we will go off to this city and spend a year there; we will do business and make money.'  You have no idea what tomorrow will bring.  What is your life?  No more than a mist, which appears for a moment and then disappears.  Instead of this, you should say, 'GOD willing, we will live and do this or that.'  But no!  You boast of your plans: this brazen pride is wicked.  Anyone who knows what is good, and does not do it, sins." - James 4:13-17 

(We all make many plans: to earn more, to buy things, to have a good time.  What is serious about this is that we forget meanwhile to do good.  We know it has to be done and we know how to do it, but what we do not know is if we will have time to accomplish it.  We may die without having done what mattered most.)
