10. Bow down to the Lord. He will lift you up.
11. My brothers and sisters, don't speak against one another. Anyone who speaks against another believer speaks against the law. And anyone who judges another believer judges the law. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it. Instead, you are acting as if you were its judge.
12. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge. He is the One who is able to save life or destroy it. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13. Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city. We will spend a year there. We will buy and sell and make money."
14. You don't even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist that appears for a little while. Then it disappears.
15. Instead, you should say, "If it pleases the Lord, we will live and do this or that."
16. As it is, you are proud. You brag about it. That kind of bragging is evil.
